Step 1
Stand with your feet in a wide stance and point your toes outward; your knees should be in line with your toes. Keep your spine in a neutral position, your chin up and your hips pulled in.
-
Step 2
Place your hands on your waist or rest them down at your sides. For extra impact, hold barbells. If you choose to hold weights, you can also rest the weights on the tops of your thighs to add even more weight and impact to the exercise.
-
Step 3
Squat downward, slowly bending both knees and moving straight down toward the floor. Instead of sticking your rear end out slightly as in a traditional squat, keep your back straight and imagine you're sliding down a wall. Your shoulders, back and rear end should stay in a straight line.
-
Step 4
Bend your knees as far down as you comfortably can, moving your knees down and out over your toes. When you reach the bottom of the movement, slowly come back up to standing position.
-
Step 5
Repeat the exercise as many times as you can for maximum impact.
