Squats

Techniques:

Feet hip width apart
Knees soft
Abdominals held tight
Back neutral
Shoulders relaxed
Arms by your side
Head facing forward

In the squat position if your knees are over your toes you need to sit further back into a seated position to avoid this as this can put tremendous pressure on the knees, which can be damaging for your ligaments and tendons that support the knee.

You can also start off with using your arms for balance by raising them up to shoulder height as you squat.

Regular exercisers can use hand weights by their sides to make it more challenging as well as pulsing in the squat position.

3 sets of 8-10 squats three times a week, after 6 week you will notice, improvement in your gluts (buttocks), quads (thighs) and hamstrings (back of the thighs)!
