Dumbbell Curtsy Lunge
Stand holding a dumbbell in both hands up against your chest. Step one foot behind and past the opposite leg (the “curtsy” motion), and bend both knees until the back one nearly touches the floor. Reverse the motion to return to standing, then repeat to the other side. That’s one rep. Keep your torso upright throughout.
