About the exercise

Dumbbell lunges primarily work quadriceps muscles but if you maintain a slight lean forward with your trunk, they will also activate your gluteus maximus more effectively. Lunges also have an eccentric component during the downward motion. Eccentric motion is essential for strengthening your tendons. This and many other exercises are part of our free 4-week workout routine.

10 repetitions each side, 15-20 seconds rest.
