Alternating Lunge
Rep Range
10-16
Hints
Begin standing upright with feet together. Holding dumbbells at your sides, take a step forward with one foot and lower into a lunge. Ensure the front knee is aligned with the ankle and the back knee hovers just above the ground. Push through the front heel to return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite leg.
Common Mistakes
Avoid letting the front knee go past the toes to prevent strain. Maintain an upright posture; don't lean forward.
Breathing
Inhale as you step into the lunge and exhale as you push back to the starting position.
