The Dumbbell Lateral Hurdle Lunge is an advanced lunge variation that incorporates a barbell to be used as a hurdle to step over.
This forces your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes to generate more power to step over the barbell.
To get started:
1. While holding a pair of dumbbells at your sides, stand to the side of a barbell loaded with 45 pound plates on the floor.
2. Lift the leg closest to the barbell up and over, while landing in a side lunge position with the moving leg bent, as you lower your body as low as you can safely go.
3. The dumbbells can be lowered to both sides of the bent leg.
4. To reverse the side lunge and step back over the barbell, push both feet through the ground with power to rise back to standing.
5. Complete the reps with one leg, then switch legs and repeat.
