2A: Dumbbell Lateral Lunge

  • Standing tall with the dumbbells at your sides, step out to one side while also pushing your hips behind you and sit into that hip.
  • As your hips drive back, your upper body will naturally come forward a bit, but keep your back long to not let your chest round down. The weights will frame the now-bent leg.
  • Once at your appropriate depth, drive through the floor and push back to the starting point.
  • Complete 8-12 reps per leg.

Tip: You can stick to the same side or, for a challenge, you can alternate sides.
