Barbell Reverse Lunge

Start by standing with your feet about hip-width apart, with a barbell on your shoulders. Your feet should be slightly pointed outward, and your shoulders should be down and relaxed. Step backward with one foot, lowering your body until your front thigh is parallel to the ground and your back knee is hovering just above the ground. Push off your back foot, returning to the starting position.
