Walking Lunge w Overhead Press and Twist

A typical lunge involves stepping out and dropping down into two right angles (90 degrees) with your knees. Feet should be kept hip width apart at all times (stepping in a straight line forces you off balance). In this lunge, the lifter drops down and presses dumbbells overhead at the same time. While into the full lunge with the weights overhead, you slowly twist your torso toward the front knee of the lunge. This twist not only causes a rotation (and big stretch) in the front hip, as well as activating the oblique, and lower back muscles. Repetitions are typically limited to shoulder stamina as the press tends to be the most fatiguing part of the movement. Make sure you keep eyes up, shoulders back and abs drawn toward the spine.
