"Lunges work every muscle in the lower body, and adding a curl into the movement increases core activation and adds an additional balance element," Konforti told POPSUGAR. He added that, since it's a single-leg move, you're able to move at a quick pace, which spikes your heart rate.
- Begin with your feet together, holding dumbbells at your sides.
- Step your right foot back into a deep lunge as you bend your elbows, bringing weights to your shoulders for the biceps curl. Make sure your left knee is directly over your ankle, and bend your right knee so it almost touches the floor.
- Focus on your left glute as you step your right foot forward to return to the starting position, lowering weights back to your sides. This counts as one rep. Repeat, lunging the left foot back.
- Complete 15 reps on each leg.
