How to perform

To perform this exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing in towards your body.
2. Take a big step forward with your right foot, lowering your body into a lunge position. Make sure your front knee is bent at a 90-degree angle and your back knee hovers just above the ground.
3. As you lower into the lunge, bend your elbows and bring the dumbbells towards the sides of your head, keeping your elbows close to your ears.
4. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position, and extend your arms to complete one rep.
5. Repeat the lunge on the other side, stepping forward with your left foot and completing the triceps extension with the dumbbells.
6. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of reps.

Remember to engage your core throughout the exercise and focus on keeping your chest lifted and your back straight. Start with a light weight to ensure proper form and gradually increase the weight as you become more familiar with the movement. Be mindful of your balance and stability as you perform the exercise.
