Toning butts and lose weight from butts are they both different things

    Shape your legs, tone your butt, and build functional strength with the reverse lunge.  Lunges are an exceptional exercise to revitalize the lower body.  They work the muscles at the perfect angle to develop incredible shape and symmetry in your legs, thighs, and buttocks.

    Because they require balance, lunges also build neuromuscular and functional capacity - helping your body do its daily movements and allowing you to pick up your children with ease.

    Whether you are trying to lose weight, want to look more stylish in shorts, or improve your athletic performance, lunges should be part of your workout routine.

    In my opinion, the ultimate lunge is the reverse lunge.  There are many different types of lunges and many ways to perform them all, but since we only have time to cover one, my choice is the reverse lunge.  Here's why:

    - Because you have more balance and support, it is easy to learn and perform.  In addition, you have less momentum to manage during exercise, which provides more effective stress to the muscles and results in better results.

    - It is safer and softer on your knees as your back foot absorbs the ballistic shock of the lunge step.  (Unlike the forward lunge where the impact shock can transfer to the knee even if you land from heel to toe.)

    - It creates muscle balance by initiating a backward movement unlike most other exercise movement models which move you forward and direct your muscles forward.

    How to do a reverse lunge correctly

    - Start forward, feet shoulder-width apart and arms at your sides.

    - Step back with one leg far enough to allow your knees to bend at a 90 degree angle.  You can simultaneously raise your arms to act as a slight counterweight.  If you want a bigger challenge, hold some light weights in your hands.

    - You are in the correct position at the bottom of your lunge when your front knee is directly above the ankle.

    IMPORTANT - To return to the starting position, begin dropping your arms and lifting the heel of your front leg.  DO NOT REMOVE YOUR REAR LEG.  This simple trick will dramatically improve the efficiency of your reverse lunge, give you a much tighter and leaner butt, and you will achieve much better results in half the time.

    Try doing reverse lunges 3 times a week for non-consecutive days.  Work up to 2 sets of 10 reps on each leg.  After a month, I think you'll be amazed at the impact the reverse lunge has on your physique.
