Squats: Work the thighs and buttocks

January 28, 2008
Stand with your feet a little more than hip distance apart, tummy muscles tightened. Link your fingers together holding your arms out in the front. Slowly push your hip back, bend your knees and lower yourself down into the squat till your thighs are parallel to the floor.

Lean forwards just a bit so that you don't strain your back. Make sure your knees stay in line with the ankles.

Squeeze your butt and thighs and then push yourself up into a standing position without jerking or locking your knees. Complete the move in 4 seconds.

16 reps, rest and repeat.
