- With proper posture, stand straight with the feet hip-width apart with an 8-pound dumbbell on each hand.
- Lunge forward with one leg, then level that leg. When you do lunges, the other knee should not touch the ground. Keep it to about an inch or two above the floor.
- Keep a perpendicular posture with your torso to the floor. Distribute your weight evenly between the two legs.
- Bring into line the front knee over the front ankle, with the heels carrying the weight instead of the toes.
- Lunge for about 30 seconds per leg before switching and repeat.[/su_box]
