Vitrual gym: Better Butt - Dumbbell Lunges
From eDiets
Stand straight with your feet together. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms down at your sides Step forward with the right leg and lower the left leg until the knee almost touches the floor. Contracting the quadriceps muscles, push off your right foot slowly returning to the starting position. Alternate the motion with the left leg to complete the set. Inhale while stepping forward. Exhale while returning to the starting position. The step should be big enough that your left leg is nearly straight. Do not let your knee touch the floor. Make sure your head is up and your back is straight. Your chest should be lifted and your front leg should form a 90 degree angle at the bottom of the movement. Your right knee should not pass your right foot. You should be able to see your toes at all times.
