Dumbbell lunges are a deceptively simple yet powerful exercise that deserves a spot in your training plan. Whether you're aiming to sculpt your lower body or improve functional strength, dumbbell lunges bring serious benefits to the table.
Why You Should Be Doing Dumbbell Lunges?
Builds Lower-Body Strength: Lunges are a compound movement that activates the glutes, quads, and hamstrings, giving your legs that strong, toned look while increasing muscular endurance.
Boosts Balance and Stability: Because you're training one leg at a time, lunges challenge your coordination and help correct muscle imbalances.
Engages the Core: The need to stabilise throughout the movement turns this leg exercise into a secret core workout, promoting better posture and alignment.
Supports Fat Burn and Metabolism: Training large muscle groups (like those in the legs) revs up your metabolic rate, helping your body burn more calories at rest.
How to Nail the Dumbbell Lunge – Safely
Start by standing tall with a dumbbell in each hand, arms relaxed at your sides.
Step forward with one leg and lower your body until both knees form 90-degree angles.
Keep your front knee directly above your ankle and your spine straight.
Push through the front foot to return to standing.
Alternate legs and repeat.
Pro Tip: Want to level up? Try walking lunges for added intensity and coordination.
Before You Start
It may look straightforward, but proper form is key. To avoid injury and get the most out of your workout, consult a fitness professional before adding this move to your routine.

Jacqueline Fernandez Holds On To Salman Khan's Arm As She Celebrates 11 Years Of Kick
Last Updated: Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez's Kick celebrates 11 years today. The actress shared many iconic moments from the film on her Instagram story. Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez's Kick celebrates 11 years of its release today. On social media, fans have been hailing the electrifying chemistry between Salman and Jacqueline and the film's emotional core. Amidst all the high-octane action and grand drama, it was the playful, heartfelt moments between Devi and Shaina that truly struck a chord with the audience. Jacqueline took to Instagram and reshared moments from the film featuring Salman. In one of the pictures, Jacqueline gently holds Salman's arm, marking a memorable still from the film. Another was a video of Bollywood's Bhaijaan dancing his heart out. Jacqueline shared the glimpses with multiple red heart emojis. Take a look: Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the menacing Shiv Gajra Among his many unforgettable characters, Nawazuddin's portrayal of Shiv Gajra in Kick remains one of the most iconic. Starring alongside Salman Khan, Nawaz played the cold-blooded antagonist that left audiences spellbound. From spine-chilling dialogues to that unforgettable gun-click moment, every move he made on screen was a masterclass in menace. His complete transformation into Shiv Gajra – and the way he made evil feel both terrifying and magnetic – cemented the character as one of Bollywood's most iconic villains. As the film marks its anniversary today, even 11 years later, fans continue to celebrate the performance that redefined villainy in Hindi cinema. Talking about the love he received and how the role impacted his journey as an actor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui reflected with heartfelt gratitude. He said, 'Main bahut shukarguzar hoon for the love and appreciation that I had received for my role as Shiv Gajra. Yeh, ek aisa role tha jisne meri career mein ek naye rang bhar diya tha. It's a testament to how powerful cinema can be. Dil se shukriya sabko." What are some of the key scenes from Kick? In a film brimming with larger-than-life moments, one scene from Kick that quietly shines is when Devi (Salman) and Shaina (Jacqueline) ride a bullet cart to the temple. There's no dramatic confrontation – just playful glances, a breezy exchange, and an unspoken warmth that speaks louder than words. Another emotionally charged scene unfolds when Shaina unexpectedly crosses paths with Devi once more. But he's changed – aloof, distant, and pretending not to know her. Jacqueline's bewildered heartbreak, paired with Salman's cryptic smirk, gives the moment a bittersweet depth, layered with unspoken emotions, nostalgia, and unresolved love. In fact, their first meeting on the train, meanwhile, is pure rom-com magic. Salman's laid-back charisma meets Jacqueline's graceful sass, sparking a natural, witty chemistry that's instantly captivating. Directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, Kick featured Salman Khan as the thrill-seeking Devil, Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the menacing Shiv Gajra, Randeep Hooda as a determined cop, and Jacqueline Fernandez. The film became a blockbuster, loved for its action and performances. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
