Dumbbell Curtsey Lunge
The curtsy lunge with a dumbbell hanging at each side, the back leg crossing diagonally behind the front one.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet under the hips, a dumbbell hanging at each side.
Steps
- Cross one leg diagonally behind the other and lower the back knee.
- Let the bells hang straight down, the chest up.
- Drive up through the front foot and bring the leg back to center.
Common mistakes
Bells swinging with the step: let them hang still. Hips turning with the cross: keep them facing forward. Front heel lifting: keep the whole foot planted.
Breathing
Inhale stepping back, exhale driving up.
