Dumbbell Side Lunge
The side lunge holding one dumbbell upright at the chest; the load stays centered while one hip sinks.
How to do it
Setup
One dumbbell vertical at the chest, feet together, toes forward.
Steps
- Take a wide side step, hips back over that foot.
- Far leg straight, bell at the chest.
- Push back to center, feet together.
Common mistakes
Bent knee drifting inside the foot: press it out toward the little toe. Chest dropping toward the knee: bell high, back flat. Straight leg's foot lifting onto its edge: keep it flat on the floor.
Breathing
Inhale into the lunge, exhale pushing back.
