Dumbbell Lunge with Bicep Curl
A forward lunge that carries a curl: the dumbbells rise to the shoulders as the back knee drops and come down as you push back to standing.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width, a dumbbell in each hand at the sides, palms forward.
Steps
- Step forward into a lunge while curling both bells to the shoulders.
- Back knee just above the floor, front shin near vertical.
- Push back to standing as the bells lower; alternate legs.
Common mistakes
Front knee caving in: track it over the toes. Curling so hard the torso leans back: keep the chest over the hips. Short step that drives the knee past the toes: step long enough to keep the front shin upright.
Breathing
Exhale as the bells rise, inhale as they lower.
