How to Do a Curtsy Lunge With a Hammer Curl

This is a great exercise to work both your lower body and your upper body at the same time. The curtsy lunge will work your butt and legs, while the hammer curl will work your biceps in your arms.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 5-12 pound set of dumbbells

1. Hold a 5-12 pound dumbbell in each hand with your arms at your side and palms facing inward. Stand with your feet hip-width apart.

2. Lunge your left leg back and to the right so that it is on the other side of your right leg. At the same time, curl the dumbbells to your shoulders.

3. Return to starting position by lowering the dumbbells back to your side and stepping forward with your left leg.

4. Repeat the exercise on the same leg for 10-12 repetitions.

5. Perform the same moves on the right leg after you have completed the repetitions on your left leg. Do the same amount of repetitions on each leg.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure to keep your front knee above your ankle and not over your foot, so that you protect your knees from injury.
