One of the best lower body workouts – ever. Lunges will tone up your hips, thighs, glutes and have you looking like you’re Serena Williams…tight, toned and sexy.

While Lunges are a great workout, many people don’t have the proper form when doing them and can really hurt themselves. So today on Sweet Potato Pie we are going to give you step by step instructions on how to properly execute Lunges via About.com:

1. Stand in a split stance, with feet about 3 feet apart. You want both knees to be at about 90-degree angles at the bottom of the movement, so adjust accordingly.
2. Hold weights in each hand (or place a barbell behind the neck) for added intensity.
3. Bend the knees and lower the back knee toward the floor, keeping the front heel down and the knee directly over the center of the foot.
4. Keep the torso straight and abs in as you push through the front heel and back to starting position.
5. Don’t lock the knees at the top of the movement.
6. Perform 1 to 3 sets of 10 to 16 reps according to your fitness level and goals.
