Dumbbell Static Lunge

How to Left Leg Static Lunge

Primary Muscles: Legs, Glutes

Exercise Families: Lunge

Equipment: Dumbbell

Trainer: Ashley Steele

Stand in a split stance holding a pair of weight at the sides, shoulders blades pulled back, and spine and head in good posture.
Stagger the feet hip-width, position the left leg in front, right leg behind. Stand on the ball of the back leg by lifting the right heel off the ground.
Push the hips back and down—allow the knees to bend naturally and the trunk to lean forward as you descend towards the floor.
Focus more on lowering the hips towards the floor rather than driving the hips forward. Continue lowering to a comfortable position or until the left thigh becomes parallel with the floor.
Pause briefly in the down-position, drive the feet into the ground, and press the body to the standing position. Repeat the split squats on the left leg for the specified amount of time.
You should feel this working the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and outer hip muscles.
