Dumbbell rear lunges are a staple for building leg strength and improving stability. By stepping backward, you place less strain on the knees and more emphasis on controlled movement.
Instructions
- Stand upright holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
- Step back with your right leg and lower your body into a lunge, keeping your torso upright.
- Ensure your front knee stays behind your toes and your shin stays vertical.
- Push through the front foot to return to standing.
- Repeat on the opposite leg and alternate for all reps.
