Rear Lunge

Targets: Glutes, legs, arms, and core.

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding dumbbells at sides.

2. Keeping weight onto the left leg, step the right leg behind and bend both knees at 90 degrees, lowering into a lunge.

3. Rise, straightening to stand. Do 15 reps and repeat on other side.

"This is a butt elevator! To get that round, lifted look of the glutes you must build muscle and eliminate excess body fat. Keeping the muscle under tension the entire time, as you step back into a lunge will maximize your results."
