Dumbbell Hammer Curl to Lunge to Press

  1. Grab a pair of dumbbells and hold them at arm's length next to your sides, your palms facing each other. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Step forward with your left leg and lower your body until your front knee is bent at least 90 degrees. As you lunge, curl the dumbbells. Your back knee should nearly touch the floor.
  3. Press the dumbbells directly above your shoulders. Your arms should be straight.
  4. Push yourself back to the start, then lower the weights and repeat.
