How to do a walking lunge

Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
Step forward into a lunge, lowering your back knee toward the floor.
Drive through your front heel and step through into the next lunge.
Keep your torso upright and shoulders back.
Continue walking forward, alternating legs for all reps.

Form tips

Touch the back knee down lightly each step.
Do not let the dumbbells swing, keep them quiet at your sides.
Push off the front leg, not the back toes.
