Walking Lunges
How to do it
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, standing tall with room to walk forward.
- Step forward into a lunge, dropping your back knee toward the floor.
- Stop when your back knee is just short of touching and your front thigh is parallel.
- Push off your front foot and bring your back leg through into the next step.
- Keep your torso upright throughout - leaning forward turns it into a hinge.
