Barbell Lunge

1
The barbell lunge targets key muscles in the lower body including the quadriceps. To perform, stand straight with a barbell resting on your shoulders. Step forward with one foot, landing on your heel first then forefoot, lowering your body slowly by bending the knee and hip of the leading leg until the knee of the rear leg is almost in contact with the floor. Push back to the starting position and repeat with the opposite leg.
