Dumbbell Diagonal Lunge targets the glutes, hamstrings, and quads while also engaging the muscles of the inner and outer thighs.

Step 1
Grab a pair of dumbbells with a neutral grip with your palms facing each other. Stand up, feet shoulder-width apart. Your arms should hang down at your sides.
Step 2
Take a large diagonal step forward at a 45-degree angle, lowering your back knee to the floor and keeping your front calf as vertical as possible. Pause and then return to the starting position.

Dumbbell Diagonal Lunge targets Glutes, Hamstrings, Quads as seen below.

Make sure you come down into the lunge, dropping your hips rather than projecting your knee forward.
Be sure to keep the knee of your front leg in line with your foot.
Do not let the foot of the back leg rotate towards the instep.
