Dumbbell Alternating Lunge

A lower-body exercise alternating lunges with dumbbells held at your sides, targeting the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings.

Instructions:

• Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand, arms at your sides, palms facing your body.

• Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about 90 degrees.

• Keep your torso upright, chest open, and core engaged.

• Push through the front heel to return to the starting position.

• Alternate legs on each repetition.

Common mistakes:

• Letting the front knee go too far past the toes.

• Leaning the torso forward excessively.

• Not engaging the core, causing instability.

• Taking steps that are too short or too long.
