This is a lower body (hips, butt, thighs) strength and balance exercise that can be done using only the weight of you body or while holding dumbells. It is great for the Gluteus muscles but can lead to knee problems if done too often (every day) or performed improperly. Begin by standing with your legs together and take a moderate to large step forward and bend your knees into a kneeling position. halt movement when your rear knee is 2-3 inches from the ground. using primarily your back leg - stand back up. repeat with the opposite foot forward and do this 10-15 times. Make sure your front knee stays behind the plane of your toes. This allows you to support your knee better. This is the most common version. There are also lateral lunges (stepping sideways) and rear stepping lunges (stepping backwards).
