Dumbbell Lateral Lunges Stand tall with your legs shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and extend your arms so the weights are hanging between your legs. As you lunge to one side, lower the dumbbells towards the ground. Once you reach the ground, push hard off the leg and return to starting position. Perform 10 reps on each side. Dumbbell Step Ups Stand in front of a sturdy box or bench, holding a pair of dumbbells at your sides. Step up onto the bench with one leg so that your thigh is parallel to the floor. Bring your other leg up to the bench and allow it to hang just off the side. Step down. Repeat 10 to 15 times on each side. Goblet Squats Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in the middle of your chest under your chin. Squat down, keeping your back straight, until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Slowly return to starting position. Do 2 8 to 10 squats. Single-Leg Calf Raise Hold a dumbbell in your right hand by your side and place the ball of your right foot on an elevated surface (like a bottom stair or sturdy box) with your heel hanging off. Cross your left ankle behind your right and lower your right heel toward the floor without touching it. Rise up on the toes of your right foot as high as you can, squeezing your right calf at the top. Pause, then lower yourself again. Do 8 to 10 reps on each side. Walking Lunges You’ll need plenty of space for this exercise so you’ll want to do it outside or in an obstacle-free room. Take a giant stride forward with your left leg. Land so that both legs form 90 degree angles. Take 2 seconds to lower into this position. Your left knee should not extend past the toes of your left foot and your right knee should not touch the ground. Drive upwards and step forward with your right knee this time. Perform 10 reps on each leg.
