Dumbbell Goblet Curtsey Lunge
The curtsy lunge with one dumbbell upright at the chest, the load in front keeping the torso tall.
How to do it
Setup
One dumbbell held vertically at the chest by its top plate, elbows in.
Steps
- Step one foot back and across behind the other.
- Sink until the back knee nears the floor.
- Stand up and return the foot; alternate.
Common mistakes
Bell drifting away from the chest: keep it tucked in. Front knee caving as the legs cross: track it over the toes. Hips rotating toward the back leg: square to the front.
Breathing
Inhale stepping back, exhale driving up.
