Walking Lunges
Lunges help tone the backs of your legs and your butt.
At Home or At the Gym: Standing, step forward and lower your back knee to the ground. Your front knee should not go past your toes. Try to keep your back straight and focus on lower your butt towards the ground. Do not let your knee touch the ground. Instead, raise yourself, bring your legs together, and lunge with the opposite leg. Try 10 reps on each leg for 3 sets. Once this gets easy, you can add dumbbells. Just hold them at your sides to add some resistance to your lunge.
Here’s a YouTube video demonstrating.
