Barbell Lunge (alternating)

Video coming soon...

The barbell lunge is a workout that primarily targets the quads and glutes. The barbell adds resistance to strengthen and tone these muscles.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your toes pointing forward.
Hold a barbell across your upper back, resting it on your shoulders.
Take a big step forward with your right foot, bending both knees to lower your body into a lunge position.
Keep your torso upright and your front knee directly above your ankle.
Push through your right heel to return to the starting position, then repeat the movement with your left leg.

Start with a light barbell to get comfortable with the movement and ensure proper form.
Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the exercise to engage your quads and glutes effectively.
Take a long step forward with one leg, keeping your knee directly above your ankle.
Lower your body by bending both knees until your back knee is just above the ground.
Push through your front heel to return to the starting position, engaging your quads and glutes.
Alternate legs with each rep to work both sides evenly and maintain balance.
Focus on a slow and controlled movement to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
