5 Best Hip Exercises for Men

#2 Dumbbell Lunge

The dumbbell lunge is a complete lower body exercise that targets the hips, glutes, hamstrings, quads and the calf muscles. Moreover, the exercise also activates the core for a tight abdomen.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet placed shoulder-width apart and hold dumbbells in both the hands. Place them on the side, parallel to the body.

Step 2: Take a step using the left leg such that the right knee touches the floor. Ensure that the left thigh is parallel to the floor while performing this motion.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position. Perform the same motion using the other leg to complete one rep.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Beginners must avoid taking a giant first step as it could unbalance the body.
