The squat is a great exercise for toning, strengthening and building muscle in the lower body.
Key Technique
-Feet hip width apart
-Weight on heels
-Back straight
-Flexed abs
-Pelvis tilted forward (so your bum is sticking out)
-Squat until thighs are parallel to the floor
-Keep knees behind toes, not over
Beginner Variations
-Ball squat. Place a stability ball behind your low back, up against the wall.
-Chair Squat. Place a chair behind and try to squat down on it. This will help to develop depth to your squat.
Practicing and perfecting the basic squat, builds strength for more fun and complex squat variations.
