Alternating DB stationary lunges
Starting Posture
Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
How to Exercise
Step forward with your right foot and lower your body until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Push through your right heel to return to the starting position. Repeat on the left side.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lower your body and exhale as you push back up.
Common errors
Some common errors include not going all the way down on each repetition, leaning too far forward, or using momentum to complete the movement.
Weights
Use dumbbells of an appropriate weight for your fitness level. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase as you become stronger.
Grips
Hold the dumbbells in a comfortable grip with your palms facing inward.
Variations
For a more advanced variation, you can perform alternating jump lunges or walking lunges instead of stationary lunges.

Cautions
