20 WAC Magazine | wac.net living fit exercise of the month / fitness advantage Exercise of the Month Lunge Lift Personal Training Coordinator Michelle Payne demonstrates the lunge lift. This movement targets the glutes, quads, core, and shoulders. 1. While standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, hold a kettlebell or dumbbell in either hand just above your shoulder. Step back into a lunge using the same-side leg that the weight is on, ensuring to bend your back knee so your shin is parallel to the floor. 2. Push through the heel of your opposite foot to bring your back leg up, driving your knee up toward your chest. While doing so, simultaneously press the weight over your head. This is one rep. Complete three sets of 10–12 repetitions on each side as you are able.
