Continuous forward lunge steps with dumbbells at the sides train leg strength and stability, useful preparation for HYROX sandbag lunges.

The dumbbell walking lunge is the most race-specific sandbag lunge alternative, building the continuous single-leg endurance HYROX demands.

Definition and limits

A dumbbell walking lunge alternates forward steps into a split stance while holding dumbbells. Hip, knee and ankle joints move, and several lower-limb and trunk muscles contribute. Step length, depth, load, speed and individual anatomy change joint demands; there is no universal knee or shin position.
