Instructions
1. Begin by standing upright, feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
2. Step forward with one leg, bending the knee to lower the body down. Make sure your front knee is directly above your ankle, not pushed out too far, and your back knee is hovering slightly above the floor.
3. Keep your upper body straight, with your shoulders back and chin up – pick a point to stare at in front of you to help keep your balance.
4. Drive through the heel of the front foot and extend both knees to raise yourself back up.
5. Step forward with the rear foot, repeating the lunge on the opposite leg.
6. Continue the walking lunges for the desired number of repetitions, alternating legs each time.
Be sure to perform the exercise in a safe and controlled manner, using a weight that allows you to execute the movement properly while still providing enough resistance to challenge your muscles.
