Single Dumbbell Walking Lunges

Legs, Quads, Glutes

1. Hold a dumbbell in one hand
2. Step one foot forward and lunge down, keeping your knees in line with your toes.
3. Press out of the front heel to then stand back up.
4. Step forward with the other foot and repeat steps 2 and 3.
- Keep the dumbbell in the same hand, no matter which foot you are stepping forward with.
- Toes point forward with knees in line with toes.
- Push out of your front heel to activate your glutes.
- Front knee should not be going past your front toes.
- Keep core engaged, chest up, and a straight spine.
- Using one dumbbell will challenge our balance and stability.
* This exercise can be hard on your forearms since we usually use one heavy dumbbell. I recommend using weightlifting straps if grip becomes an issue. It will relieve some of the pressure on your forearms, allowing you to focus more on the form of the lunge.
