How to do the dumbbell walking lunge

Step by step

1. Grab a pair of dumbbells and stand tall.
2. Retract your shoulder blades and engage your abs.
3. Take a breath and extend your right leg forward, planting the foot on the floor.
4. Immediately sink into a lunge until your back knee is almost in contact with the ground.
5. Press through your front foot to extend the leg as you exhale.
6. Breathe in as you lift your back foot off the floor and extend the back leg forward, planting the foot in front of your body and descending into another lunge.
7. Continue moving forward until you’re done.
