Lunges are a great exercise to tone and lift the butt, strengthen the thighs and increase balance. When done properly they are also great for increasing flexibility in the hips.
Stationary Lunges are great way to start doing lunges.
Stand with your feet together.
Step one foot out in front.
Place your front foot flat on the floor and come up onto the toes of the back foot.
Bend both knees and lower the back knee straight down toward the floor while keeping the upper body upright and the front knee right above or slightly behind the front heel. The front knee should not go beyond the toes at any time. (try to take BOTH knees to 90 degrees)
Push straight up through the front heel and back toes.
Repeat for 10-15 on one leg then switch legs and repeat.
