Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with feet positioned shoulder-width apart. Hold dumbbells in both the hand and place them on the side, parallel to the body.

Step 2: Take a step using your left leg such that the right knee touches the floor. The left thigh must be parallel to the floor while the lower portion of the left leg must make a 90-degree angle with the left thigh.

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

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tips: Do not sway your arms while performing the dumbbell lunges. Beginners should avoid taking a large first stride as it could unbalance them.
