How To Perform the Barbell Lunge

  1. Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell across your upper back and shoulders.
  2. Engage your core and take a step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle.
  3. Ensure your front knee is directly above your ankle and the back knee is hovering just above the ground.
  4. Push through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.
  6. Maintain an upright torso and keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.
  7. Inhale as you step forward and lower, exhale as you push back to the starting position.
