Keep your chest up, with a natural arc in your back. Step forward with one foot, then lower your body down till your back leg's knee almost touches the ground. Both legs should be bent at the knee at about a 90 degree angle. Then use the front leg to push yourself back up.

Here is the link on exrx with an annimation: Lunge (http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Quadriceps/BBLunge.html) The only think I don't like is his posture, and the way he lets his shoulders come forward during the movement.
