How to do a static lunge
- Stand tall holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, feet hip-width apart, and step one foot forward into a split stance.
- Keep your torso upright and core braced as you begin the movement.
- Lower your body by bending both knees until your back knee nearly touches the floor.
- Keep your front knee tracking over your ankle at the bottom position.
- Push through your front heel to return to the starting split stance.
- Complete all reps on one side, then switch legs and repeat.
Form tips
- Keep your front knee aligned over your ankle, not past your toes.
- Maintain an upright torso and engaged core throughout.
- Lower under control rather than dropping quickly.
- Keep the dumbbells relaxed at your sides for balance.
