Dumbbell Step Up Lunge

Dumbbell Step Up Lunge demonstration

How to do it

  1. 1Hold dumbbells at your sides and set up in a long split stance with the front foot on a bench and the rear foot elevated on a bench behind you.

Coaching cues

  • Place two sturdy benches about a stride apart; hold dumbbells at your sides, chest up, core braced.
  • Put your front foot flat on the front bench and the top of your rear foot on the rear bench; hips square, eyes forward.
  • Inhale and descend straight down by bending both knees, keeping the front knee tracking over the middle toes and heel grounded.
  • Lower until the front foot lightly touches the floor (or front thigh is at least parallel), torso tall and neutral spine.
  • Exhale and drive through the front heel and mid‑foot to extend the knee and hip, returning to the start atop the benches.
  • Minimize push from the rear leg; keep dumbbells still and shoulders down.
  • Pause, re-balance, and complete all reps before switching legs.
