Barbell Walking Lunge

How to do it

  1. Rest a loaded barbell across your upper back with a wide, secure grip, keeping your forearms locked to hold the bar steady.
  2. Stand tall with your core braced and step forward into a lunge, lowering the back knee toward the floor.
  3. Drive through the front heel and bring your back foot through to step directly into the next lunge, continuing forward across the floor.
  4. Keep a steady, continuous cadence from stride to stride, maintaining an upright torso throughout.
  5. Breathe in rhythm with your steps, keeping effort at a sustained, moderate pace for the full interval.
  6. A common fault is losing torso control as fatigue builds, so keep the core braced and the bar path steady with every stride.
