How to do Dumbbell Lunge Exercises

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Corey Beasley, owner of DNA Fitness. What we are going to do now is like I talked about before there are seven basic movements the body actually goes through. Number 1 is the Squat. Number 2 is the lunge, you push, you pull, you twist, you bend and your gait when you walk and run. What you can do is start to, you know combine a lot of these movements to challenge your body even more. So what we are going to do is just a little series of movements all at one time. This will work your body again from head to toe. It also is going to be very challenging on your cardiovascular system, gets you breathing a little harder, so if you are a wrestler, a grappler, if you are looking to drop fat, drop body weight this is a great way, if you are crunched for time to squeeze an effective workout and quick and you know get in, get out and go about your day. So what we are going to do, we are going to have the dumbbells down on the floor. You are going to want to start with a little lighter dumbbell than you are probably used to using just because this is going to challenge you in a little different way. So we are going to stand, just regular, like a body weight squat, feet shoulder width apart, stomach tight, chest in and chest up. You are going to squat down, grab those dumbbells. Feet kick out and come down like a push up, press up, jump your feet back in, squat up, curl up to shoulders, press up over your head, lower those dumbbells, squat back down, repeat that movement. It is going all the way down, keep it in control, focus on the tight stomach, good posture, pressing up over your head. You have 10, 15, 20 of those going in a row and have your heart beating, tire you out from head to toe. Help you out along your goals."
