Booty Busting Series--Best Exercises to Build that Butt #12: Forward Leaning Lunges
Lunges are good for your legs and they do work your glutes, but not as effectively as they could. Leaning forward increases the recruitment of the hamstrings and glutes, as opposed to just the quads. If you want to build your booty, it's a good idea to try your lunges with a bit of forward lean.
As a bonus, you take a lot of the strain off your knee by leaning forward. Keeping your torso upright can often lead to knee pain, which is why your body naturally tries to pull you forward as you lunge. These forward-leaning lunges will help to reduce knee strain, minimizing the risk of injury and pain.
