Exercise 1: Squat
Works: Buttocks and thighs
• Stand with your feet hip-width apart, weight slightly back on your heels, hands on your hips. Pull your abdominals in, standing up tall with square shoulders and a lifted chest.
• Sit back and down, as if there's a chair directly behind you. Lower as far as you can without leaning your upper body more than a few inches forward. Don't allow your knees to stick out past your toes.
• Straighten your legs and stand back up. Be careful not to lock your knees at the top of the movement.
