Girl, if you’re serious about building booty strength and size, you gotta become bestest friends with the lunge. This is a butt burning treat of a movement and, when you have the conventional standing lunge nailed, you’re in for a whole new world of peachy gains. Check it out.

How to standing lunge

1. Begin by standing in a neutral position with your feet at hip width apart

2. Take one foot and step out directly in front of you

3. In this position, bend your front knee and drop the back knee until it’s just couple of inches from the floor

4. At this point look at your front knee. Check to see if it’s tracking over your toes. If it is, step out further until your knee forms a 90 degree angle

5. Return to the start position by pushing back with your front foot

Tip: Turn up the heat on this one and hold a dumbbell in each hand. This will put additional strain through your glutes, for extra gains.
