A lunge is basically a big step forward with one of your legs. Take a big step forward with your right leg, hands on your hips. Lean slightly forward and feel how your left outer thigh is stretched. You will want to do this slowly so that you can really feel your leg muscles work.

You might find yourself balancing a bit but that is perfectly normal. Stay in the position for a few seconds and continue.
You can also do lunges using weights.
