intermediateDumbbellscompound

Form Cues

  1. 1

    Take a full stride forward, keep torso upright

  2. 2

    Drive through the front heel to step through

  3. 3

    Lower until the back knee lightly grazes the floor before driving forward into the next step

  4. 4

    Keep the dumbbells at your sides, arms relaxed, to avoid adding upper-body sway

Common Mistakes

  • ●

    Short steps that force the front knee past the toes — use longer strides to keep shin more vertical

  • ●

    Bouncing up too high between steps — travel forward smoothly rather than popping upward

  • ●

    Losing balance by rushing the transition — pause briefly with feet together before the next stride if needed

Equipment Variations

  • ▸

    Barbell walking lunge for heavier loading

  • ▸

    Stationary lunge for balance challenges
