Video coming soon...

The dumbbells lateral lunge (alternating) workout is designed to primarily engage the quads and glutes.

By holding dumbbells in each hand, the exercise adds resistance, intensifying the workout for these targeted muscles.

The lateral lunge movement targets the inner and outer thighs, while the dumbbells provide additional challenge and stability.

While the workout may also engage other muscles, such as the hamstrings and calves, its focus remains on the quads and glutes.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand, arms extended by your sides.
Take a big step to the right with your right foot, keeping your left foot planted and both feet pointing forward.
Lower your body into a lunge position, bending your right knee and pushing your hips back, while keeping your left leg straight.
As you lower, simultaneously lower the dumbbells towards the ground, keeping your arms straight and close to your body.
Push through your right foot to return to the starting position, standing tall and bringing the dumbbells back to your sides.
Repeat the movement on the opposite side, stepping to the left with your left foot and lunging to the left.
Continue alternating sides, performing the lateral lunge with a dumbbell in each hand for the desired number of repetitions.

Start by standing tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing your body, and arms extended down by your sides. This exercise is excellent for targeting your quads and glutes, so get ready to feel the burn!
Take a big step to the side with your right foot, keeping your left foot firmly planted on the ground. As you step, simultaneously lower your body by bending your right knee and pushing your hips back. Imagine sitting back into a chair, keeping your chest lifted and your core engaged.
As you lower into the lunge, make sure your right knee stays in line with your toes, avoiding any inward collapsing. This will help you engage your quads and glutes more effectively, maximizing the benefits of this exercise.
Push through your right heel to return to the starting position, keeping your core tight and your chest lifted. Now, it’s time to switch sides! Take a big step to the left, lowering into a lunge with your left knee in line with your toes, engaging those quads and glutes once again.
Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions, focusing on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise. Remember, it’s not about how fast you can do this exercise, but rather the quality of each rep that counts. So, take your time, feel the muscles working, and
