Dumbbell Static Lunge

1. Start by standing upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at arm's length by your sides.

2. Take a step forward with one leg, maintaining your balance, and ensuring that your stance is wide enough to perform the exercise but not so wide that you're uncomfortable.

3. Lower your body until the front thigh is parallel to the ground and your rear knee is almost touching the floor. The front knee should be directly over your ankle, and your back knee should be bent at a 90-degree angle.

4. Make sure your upper body remains upright and your core is engaged throughout the movement to provide stability.

5. Pause for a moment in the bottom position before pushing through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting upright position.

6. Complete the desired number of repetitions with the same leg forward before switching legs and repeating the movement.

7. Ensure you perform an equal amount of repetitions on each leg to maintain muscle balance.

Remember to start with a weight that you can control easily to maintain proper form and to avoid the risk of injury. As you gain strength and balance, you can gradually increase the dumbbell weight.
