Step 1: Stand tall with your feet directly beneath you, toes pointed straight ahead, and hold a dumbbell in one hand at your side.
Step 2: Bring the dumbbell up to your shoulder so that your palm is facing in toward your body.
Step 3: Lift the foot on the opposite side of your body as the dumbbell.
Step 4: Step back with that foot and absorb into your lunge until your trailing knee gently touches the floor.
Step 5: Driving through your forward heel, press back up toward your standing position as you simultaneously press the dumbbell overhead until your arm is fully extended and in line with your ear.
Step 6: Bring your stepping foot up in front of you to balance entirely on one leg or gently tap the stepping foot next to your standing leg for assistance in balance.
Step 7: Bring the dumbbell back down to your shoulder as you simultaneously step back in to your next lunge.
Step 8: Complete all repetitions and then switch the dumbbell to the other side and swap feet to complete on the other side.
*Note: the dumbbell will always be on the opposite side of the body that is stepping. If you are holding the dumbbell in your right hand, the left foot will step.
