Side Lunge Curl Instructions
1. Stand straight with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Step out to the side with your left leg, lunge, and extend your arms down.
3. Use your right foot to push you back to the starting position, squeeze the biceps and lift the dumbbells.
4. Step out to the side with your right leg and repeat.
5. Keep alternating legs until the set is complete.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Keep your core tight, your back straight, and maintain your palms facing front. Don’t step too wide to the side, breathe in as you lunge, and keep the knees pointing in the same direction as the feet. Breathe out as you return to the starting position, lift the dumbbells and curl.
