Circuit 1, Exercise 3: Alternating Lunge With Dumbbell

Start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and a dumbbell in each hand.
On an inhale, take a big step forward with your left foot. As you plant your left foot on the floor, bend both knees to approximately 90 degrees, ensuring that your weight is evenly distributed between both legs. Your front knee should be aligned with your ankle and your back knee should be hovering above the floor.
Exhale and extend both knees, transferring your weight completely onto your right foot. Step your left foot back to return to the starting position.

Exhale and extend both knees, transferring your weight completely onto your left foot. Step your right foot back to return to the starting position.
Be sure to keep your shoulders relaxed throughout the entire movement and try not to swing the dumbbells.
This counts as one rep.
Continue alternating between the left and right sides for 50 seconds, then take 10 seconds of rest.
Repeat this circuit for a total of three rounds.
