Dumbbell Rear Lunge
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Step your right foot back behind you, lowering your body into a lunge position. Make sure your front knee is in line with your ankle and your back knee is hovering just off the floor.
Keep your chest lifted and shoulders back, avoiding any forward lean.
Push off your back foot, returning to the standing position.
Repeat the same process with your left foot stepping back. Continue to alternate legs for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements:** The second tip is to perform the exercise with controlled movements. When stepping back into the lunge, lower your body slowly and push back up to the starting position with equal control. Avoid rushing the movement or using momentum to push back up, as this can lead to improper form and potential injuries. **Correct Foot Placement:** The third tip is to step back far enough that your front knee is directly above your ankle when in the lunge position.
