Start standing with dumbbells by your side and palms facing each other. Take a long step forward with the right leg. Drop the back knee down close to the ground. Your front leg should now be in a 90 degree angle to the ground with the front knee NOT extending beyond the toe. Hold the lunge position and then curl the dumbbells to shoulder height keeping the palms facing each other. Continue holding the lunge, then press the weights over the head while still keeping the palms facing each other. Return the dumbbells to the side, and push off the front leg returning to a standing position. Repeat with the other leg
