Dumbbell Rear Lunge

Strengthen your legs and improve balance with this effective lunge variation.

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

  1. Stand upright holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
  2. Step back with your right leg and lower your body into a lunge, keeping your torso upright.
  3. Ensure your front knee stays behind your toes and your shin stays vertical.
  4. Push through the front foot to return to standing.
  5. Repeat on the opposite leg and alternate for all reps.
