Step Back lunges DB
Starting Posture
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand by your sides.
How to Exercise
Step back with your right foot, lowering your body until your left thigh is parallel to the ground. Keep your chest up and core engaged. Push through your left heel to return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
Breath Control
Inhale as you step back and lower yourself down. Exhale as you push back up to the starting position.
Common errors
Common errors include letting your front knee collapse inward, lifting your back heel off the ground, or leaning too far forward.
Weights
Use dumbbells to increase resistance and challenge your lower body muscles.
Grips
Hold the dumbbells with a comfortable grip, ensuring that your wrists are straight to avoid discomfort.
Variations
You can perform step back lunges without weights, or you can increase the difficulty by holding a single heavier dumbbell with both hands at chest level.

Comments and tips
Make sure to keep your front knee aligned with your ankle to avoid unnecessary strain. Focus on engaging your glutes and hamstrings as you push back up. Start with light weights and focus on form before increasing the load.
Cautions
Avoid rounding your back or leaning too far forward. Keep your weight evenly distributed between both legs.
