"The curtsy lunge targets your inner thighs as well as your glute medius, a smaller butt muscle that helps stabilise hips to help improve your posture," said trainer Kathy Glabicky, ACE, founder of Tread Tabata. Combining it with bicep curls, which work muscles up and down your arms, ramps up the fat-burning potential of this move.
- Start from standing, holding weights at your sides.
- Step your right leg diagonally behind you and to the left so your thighs cross, bending both knees as if you were curtsying. Make sure your front knee is aligned with your front ankle.
- As you lower into the lunge, lift the weights to your shoulders in a bicep curl.
- Return to standing and lower the weights to your sides.
- Switch sides to complete one rep.
