Instructions: 

Start: Stand holding a pair of dumbbells just outside your shoulders, with your arms bent and palms facing each other. Set your feet shoulder-width apart.

Movement: Lift your right foot and take a big step to your right as you push your hips backward and lower your body by dropping your hips and bending your right knee. Your left foot should remain flat on the floor. Pause, then quickly push yourself back to the starting position. Press the weights upward until your arms are completely straight. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to your shoulders. That's 1 rep. Now, lunge to the left. Continue to alternate sides with each rep.
