http://fitness.mercola.com/ Internationally renowned natural health physician Dr. Joseph Mercola and Darin Steen demonstrate walking lunge with dumbbells.
I use this movement for every legs workout. I am doing one thing differently--when I rise up from the down position I stop the rear foot alongside the forward food before taking the next step--this brings everything under perfect control. Presently using 35 pound DBs --8 reps/side. Any comments?
I'll tell you guys what. This is a great exercise. The fitness center at the naval compound in Northeast Philly is great for this because the weight room wraps around the baskeball court. I can now take 65 lb dummbells and do walking lunges from one end of the BB court to the other. It is killer and I love it.
Instructor's first steps: 3rd step (his right leg) vivid example of the incorrect knee angle, way overpasses the tip of the toe; the 4th step (left leg) is an OK example of the correct knee angle. Doctor's knee angle is always wrong; because his legs are much longer than the instructor's, his steps should be a lot longer to allow a 90 degree angle when he bends the forward leg down; his back/ shoulders lean too forward.
@WhatevaULike can you understand what he is talking about???
Try and you will be suprised...

Aren't these also good for strengthening the hips for women? and do you have to warm up before you do them?

The second guys knees went a little past his feet when he did the lunge.
