How to do Wide Squats

Video Transcript

"MADISON CHASE: So for the long, lean leg machine workout, we've done the basic squat. We did the basic squat with your feet together. Now, we're going to do the basic squat with your feet wider than hip-width apart. Your toes are turning outwards, which means your heels are closer together. You're going to basically do the same thing and you're going to lower your body, and just make sure your bench or your surface or your chair is right behind you. You want to make sure that your butt could barely touch it and you want to sit back on those heels and come straight up, just like that. So you're going to sit back on those heels, let your bottom touch the bench or your chair or the edge of your bed, and those toes are turned out. And you always want to make sure any time you're working your legs that you're supporting your lower back, that you're supporting your abdominals all at the same time. So for the long, lean leg machine, we got three positions. We got the basic; your feet are hip-width apart. You have same level. The reps are the only thing that are going to be the difference. Your feet are close together and your legs are turned out. And beginners, try 20 reps, and intermediate, try 30, and if you're advance, give me 60, and do 2 to 3 sets."
