Workout Wednesday - Lunges

Building the butt up doesn't just come from squats alone! Working all the different muscles in your glutes will ensure a nice peachy butt coming your way!

There are 3 muscle sections in your butt and you need to work every one of them to make sure you are working to your full potential. 

So with lunges we are focusing on the maximus part of the butt. 

Lunges can be done in a number of different ways, body weight alone, walking lunges with dumbells, static lunges with dumbells, with a bar or sandbag on your shoulders... the list goes on. Basically any lunge is a good lunge as long as your working to your full potential and also you technique is correct!

Step forward with your right leg around 2 feet or so from the foot being left stationary behind and lower your upper body down, while keeping the torso upright and maintaining balance. Inhale as you go down.
Do not allow your knee to go forward beyond your toes as you come down, as this will put stress on the knee joint. 

Include these exercises in your leg routine to see the results! I am on holiday but I can assure I am still lunging!
