Barbell walking lunge

How to move

1. With a barbell across the upper back, step forward into a lunge, the back knee lowering toward the floor.
2. Push up and bring the back foot through into the next step.
3. Keep walking, alternating legs, then rack the bar.

Form cues

• Keep each step long and the trunk tall.
• Turn round with the bar slowly, in small steps.

Practice and cautions

No universal dose is assigned. Choose a manageable amount for your current capacity, leave room for controlled repetitions, and allow recovery. A clinician’s individual plan takes priority.

Clear a straight path first. This is movement education, not an assessment or treatment prescription. Stop for sharp or increasing pain, dizziness, numbness or tingling; seek individual guidance for symptoms, injury or restrictions.
