Coach's Tips

This lunge variation works your quads, glutes, and inner thighs all at once.

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart while holding a dumbbell in each hand.

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

1. Step out to the side with one foot and sit back while 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.

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

1. Please make sure that the knee of the lunging leg does not go beyond the toes.

2. Keep your chest up so that your upper body does not lean forward.

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