Before starting:

Be sure to use a weight that is not too heavy.

1. To start this exercise, stand with feet together and holding a dumbbell in each hand.

2. Perform a reverse lunge - take a large stride behind you and bend both knees until they are 90°.

3. While holding the lunge position, perform the bicep curl by bringing each dumbbell towards the shoulders. Finish the curl by returning them to the start, and then finish the lunge by returning to a standing position.
