Step-By-Step Instructions to Complete a Side Lunge:

  1. Grab a pair of dumbbells with your palms facing each other.
  2. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms hanging down in front of you.
  3. Take a wide step out to the right side. As your right foot touches the ground, lower your body, pushing your hips back and bending at the knee. Keeping the left leg straight.
  4. Straighten your right knee and step back to the standing position.

This is one Side Lunge. Now repeat the movement on the left side, then continue to alternate from side to side completing each rep.
