Lunge Variation Workout

Backward Lunge With Bicep Curls

Stand with feet shoulder width apart, torso erect, and arms hanging straight at your sides; palms should be facing in.
Take a slow, large step backward with your left foot.
Lower your hips so that your right thigh (front leg) becomes parallel to the floor. At this point your right knee should be positioned directly over your ankle and your right foot should be pointing straight ahead.
Your left knee should be bent at a 90-degree angle and pointing toward the floor. Your left heel should be lifted.
After reaching the bottom of the movement (when your left knee is almost touching the floor), do a bicep curl.
As you lower your arms, press with your back foot to return to starting position. Switch legs and repeat on the other side. This completes one rep.
Do two sets of 10 reps.
