How to Barbell Walking Lunge
Starting Position
1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a barbell across your shoulders.
2. Keep your back straight, chest up, and abs tight.
Proper Form
1. Step forward with one leg, bending both knees to lower your body towards the floor.
2. Keep your front knee directly above your ankle and your back knee a few inches from the floor.
3. Push back up through your front heel to bring your back leg forward and return to the starting position.
4. Repeat with the other leg.
Breathing Technique
1. Inhale as you lower your body, and exhale as you push back up to the starting position.
Precautions
1. Make sure your front knee does not extend beyond your toes.
2. Keep your torso upright and avoid leaning forward.
3. Do not allow your knees to cave inwards.
4. Take your time to ensure proper form.
