Exercise of the Week

Stationary Squats (BUTTOCKS, THIGHS, BACK OF LEGS)

By Joni Hyde of WorkoutsForWomen.com

The squat works the buttocks, thighs and hamstrings. This exercise when performed properly can help to strengthen knees.

Stand with feet just outside shoulder width, toes pointing slightly out, arms down to the side.

  • Bend at the knees and reach back with the buttocks as if you are reaching for a chair behind you, while arms simultaneously come up in front of you.
  • Then stand back up as you pull arms back in to the sides.

Be sure that your knees stay behind your toes and don't allow your hips to drop below the knees. Repeat 20 times.
