Landmine Rear Lunge

• Stand facing away from the landmine with your feet shoulder-width apart, and hold the other end of the barbell with both hands at chest height.
• Take a step back with your right foot, lowering your body into a lunge position. Your front knee should be directly over your ankle, and your back knee should be hovering just off the floor.
• Push through your front foot to return to the starting position, keeping your core engaged and your chest lifted throughout the movement.
• Repeat the exercise on the opposite leg, and continue to alternate legs for the desired number of repetitions.

• **Correct Form**: Step back with one foot and lower your body into a lunge. Your front knee should be directly above your ankle, and your back knee should be pointing down toward the floor. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position. Make sure to keep your chest up and your core engaged throughout the movement to maintain balance and control.
• **Avoid Leaning Forward**: A common mistake is to lean forward during the lunge. This can put unnecessary strain on your lower back and take the focus away from your lower body. Ensure you keep your torso upright throughout the exercise.
• **Don't Rush**: Another common mistake is to rush through the movement
