Unlock your full potential
The Dumbbell Single-Arm Overhead Lunge is a compound exercise that combines unilateral overhead strength with a lunge, targeting the shoulders, core, quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. It enhances stability, balance, and coordination. Maintain control and stability throughout the exercise, especially when the dumbbell is overhead. Choose a weight that allows you to keep proper form throughout the movement.
Stand upright with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in one hand.
Press the dumbbell overhead, fully extending your arm, with your palm facing forward. Ensure your core is engaged and your spine is neutral.
Step forward with the leg opposite to the arm holding the dumbbell, lowering into a lunge. Your front thigh should become parallel to the floor, and your back knee should nearly touch the ground.
Keep the dumbbell stable and directly overhead throughout the movement.
Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position, keeping the dumbbell overhead.
Perform all the desired repetitions on one side before switching the dumbbell to the other hand and repeating with the opposite leg.
