Lunges like Squats are a great leg exercise, but they don’t isolate the glutes and people can often get away without even really using their glutes at all.
Our glutes are sleeping giants and often won’t activate if we don’t force them to. And Lunges don’t force them to!
Plus, all too often peoplelunge with form that emphasizes their quads and not their glutes.
I know you may now be thinking, well what about lunge variations like the Reverse Lunge that supposedly focus on the glutes more than the Front Lunge.
Evenif you use the Reverse Lunge, which does focus more on the glutes than other lunge variations, you still aren’t getting as much bang for your buck as you could with isolated glute activation exercises.
Like the Squat, the Lunge isn’t a bad exercise, it just is one of the WORST Glute Exercises if you really want to focus on activating, strengthening and toning those glutes!
