Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The dumbbell front rack lunge is a compound exercise that targets the lower body while engaging the core. Holding the dumbbells in front rack position increases the stabilization challenge, promoting shoulder and core strength while primarily working the legs.
How to do it
- Stand upright with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand in front rack position.
- Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle.
- Ensure the front knee is directly above the ankle, and do not let it extend past the toes.
- Push through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement on the other leg, alternating legs each repetition.
