dumbbell curtsy lunges Muscles Worked
Lunges are a squat pattern that work the entire lower body. You can vary whether you target the quads or glutes more by adjusting your torso angle. Leaning the torso forward more will place more emphasis on the glutes, if that is desired.

AbsHow to do Dumbbell curtsy lunges
Begin standing with the feet hip distance apart or slightly wider. Hold dumbbells down at your sides with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and arms straight.
Step one foot back and across midline toward the opposite side.
Sit the hips down and back as you lunge down until the back knee almost touches the ground.
Then, reverse the motion as you stand back up, bring the back foot back to the start position, and straighten the legs.
Repeat for the desired repetitions on each leg.
