Walking Lunge (Dumbbell) form, muscles worked, and workout tracking

The walking lunge is a functional lower-body exercise that targets the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings while challenging core stability and balance. By moving forward continuously, it emphasizes unilateral strength and coordination, making it a staple for athletic conditioning and muscle hypertrophy.
