The Barbell Reverse Lunge is an effective lower body workout that targets your thigh and glute muscles. It enhances balance and coordination while strengthening muscles by alternating legs in a backward lunge with a barbell.
Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a loaded barbell across your upper back with an overhand grip.
