Alternating Dumbbell Curtsy Lunges

Movement Description

How to do it: 1️⃣ Stand tall, dumbbells at shoulder height, feet hip-width apart. 2️⃣ Step your right leg behind + across your body into a curtsy position. 3️⃣ Lower your hips until your front thigh is parallel to the floor (or close). 4️⃣ Push through your front heel to rise back up. 5️⃣ Return to standing, then switch sides. ✨ Why we love Curtsy Lunges: Tones glutes, quads, hamstrings + inner thighs Improves balance + stability Boosts hip mobility + flexibility Strengthens the core while holding dumbbells Builds coordination + functional strength This move combines strength, control, and grace, all while firing up multiple muscle groups at once. Add 8–12 alternating reps per side to your next workout and feel the burn! 🔥
