Current Exercise Obsessions: Landmine Movements
While we have our tried and true exercises and workouts, we also like switching things up! Sometimes we will get hooked on certain movements and really explore all they have to offer. Today we want to walk you through some movements we have been obsessed with lately: landmine movements!
Landmine Movements
Lately we have been utilizing a lot of landmine movements. Thees types of movements are great because of the ability to do bilateral, asymmetrical and unilateral movements. Here are some of our current landmine movement obsessions.
Single Leg Deadlift
Start by placing a barbell in a landmine attachment or securely in a corner. Stand beside the barbell with one foot planted firmly on the ground and the other foot slightly elevated behind you. Grasp the barbell with one hand, hinge at your hips, and lower your torso while simultaneously lifting your back leg until your body forms a straight line. Return to the starting position by extending your hips and repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
Squat
Start by placing a barbell into a landmine attachment or securely in a corner. Stand facing the landmine with your feet shoulder-width apart, grip the end of the barbell with both hands close to your chest, then squat down by bending your knees and pushing your hips back while keeping your chest up and core engaged. Rise back up to the starting position, fully extending your hips and knees. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Kneeling Single Arm Shoulder Press
Start by kneeling beside the landmine attachment with your inside knee down and the outside leg bent for stability. Grip the landmine handle with your free hand, pressing it overhead while keeping your core engaged and spine straight. Slowly lower the weight back down with control, then repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
Kneeling Shoulder Press
Start by setting up a landmine attachment in a secure position. Kneel beside it, grasp the end of the barbell with both hands, and press it overhead while keeping your core engaged and maintaining a straight spine. Lower the weight back down under control and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Lateral Lunge
Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding the end of a barbell securely in both hands with an overhand grip. Keeping your chest up and core engaged, step sideways away from the barbell, bending your knee and pushing your hips back into a lateral lunge position while simultaneously lowering the barbell toward the ground. Push through your heel to return to the starting position, then repeat on the other side.
If you’ve never tried a landmine movement and you have access to this type of weight equipment, give them a try! We have been using all of these in the studio lately and have been loving them! Interested in seeing more movements or workouts like this? Scroll through our blog for more!
