Circuit 1, Exercise 2: Dumbbell Lunge to Overhead Press

  • Start standing with your feet about hip-width distance apart with a medium-weight dumbbell in each hand.
  • Brace your core and, with control, step your left leg forward and lower down into a lunge. Your knees should be directly over your ankles, your front foot should be flat on the ground, and you should be on the toes/ball of your right foot. Be sure to keep your weight evenly distributed throughout your body.
  • From the lunge, curl both dumbbells up toward your biceps, maintaining your form. Try not to shift to the left or right sides.
  • From here, push both dumbbells up over your head with your palms facing in.
  • With control, lower the weights back down to your sides, press through your left foot, and return to standing.
  • This counts as one rep.
  • Continue to alternate the lunge and press on each leg, performing for 40 seconds, then take 20 seconds of rest.
