The dumbbell lunge is a lower body exercise that targets the muscles in the legs and buttocks, specifically the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. It is a great exercise for improving lower body strength and stability.
Method
To perform dumbbell lunges, you will need a pair of dumbbells.
- Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
- Step forward with one foot, lowering your body until your thigh is parallel to the floor and your rear knee nearly touches the ground.
- Push through the heel of your front foot to straighten your legs and return to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement with your opposite leg.
Precaution
Remember to keep your core tight and your movements controlled throughout the exercise. It is important to use proper form to avoid injury and maximize the benefits of the exercise. You can also perform this exercise using a barbell or a kettlebell instead of dumbbells.
