How to Dumbbell Side Lunge

Starting Position

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart while holding dumbbells in both hands.

2. Keep your arms naturally by your sides and puff out your chest.

Proper Form

1. Step out to the side with one foot and sit back by pushing your hips back.

2. Bend the knee of the lunging leg in the direction of the toes, while keeping the opposite leg straight.

3. Push off the floor with the sole of the sitting leg to return to the center.

4. Repeat the same way on the opposite side.

Breathing Technique

Inhale as you go down to the side, and exhale as you push up to the center.

Precautions

1. Please keep the knee of the lunging leg behind the toes.

2. Please lift your chest to prevent your upper body from collapsing forward.

3. It's best to start with light dumbbells to learn the movements.
