How to do it

Setup

Stand tall, a dumbbell hanging at EACH side.

Steps

  1. Step forward into a lunge, back knee just above the floor.
  2. Drive up through the front foot and bring the back leg through.
  3. Step straight into the next lunge, alternating legs.

Common mistakes

Steps too short: the front knee dives past the toes; step long. Torso tipping forward: bells hang, chest stays tall. Wobbling the walk: slower steps, hips level.

Breathing

Inhale into the lunge, exhale driving up.
