Step 1
Stand with a step about 2-3 feet behind you, holding a dumbbell in each hand with arms at your sides. Carefully place one foot on the step while keeping the front foot in place. If new to lunges, start with a low step and gradually work up to a higher step. (Not sure how much weight to use?)

Step 2
Inhale while dropping your rear knee straight down toward the ground, without leaning forward. The front knee should be bent about 90 degrees and should not extend past your toes.

Step 3
Exhale as you push back up to the starting position. Repeat with the other leg.
