Reverse lunges beat forward lunges for hitting your hips, glutes, and core. Step back, lower until your rear knee nearly touches the ground, then push back up while keeping your front knee behind your toes. Better form, better results.
The best way to lunge, to get the maximum activation of your hips and your glutes and your core, is to lunge backwards. And that's the way that I would recommend that you do it. Simply step back, lunge down until this knee is slightly hovering above or touching the ground, and then lunge back to your starting position. Notice that my knee stays above or slightly behind my toe the entire time that I'm doing my lunge.
