Dumbbell Suitcase Lunges
Lunges with one dumbbell held at the side, pairing single leg strength with anti-lean trunk control.

Why it matters for golf
The offset load turns every lunge into core work. The trunk must resist tipping while the legs drive, which is exactly what the swing asks of the lead side. You get single leg strength and lateral stability in one move.
Coaching cues
- Shoulders level before every step.
- Step with control, knee tracking over the foot.
- Stay tall, no side lean.
- Switch sides and match the reps.
Common faults
- Leaning away from the dumbbell.
- Letting the front knee cave.
- Rushing steps and losing balance.
