Dumbbell Forward Leaning Lunge
Dumbbells hanging beside the front foot as the torso tips forward over it; a hip-dominant take on the forward lunge.
How to do it
Setup
A dumbbell in each hand, arms long, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Step forward, chest tipping over the knee.
- Bells hang beside the front foot.
- Push through the heel to stand; switch legs.
Common mistakes
Back rounding under the bells: the lean is a hinge with a flat back. Weight on the front toes: sit into the heel. Swinging up with the chest first: the heel push and the hips rise together.
Breathing
Inhale stepping in, exhale pushing back.
