O.k. what I'm going to perform here is a quad exercise; this is the traditional squat. Now as you see I'm not using too much weight don't let that deceive you; that doesn't mean I have skinny legs alright. So we're going to go ahead and get in the right stance here; put the feet shoulder width apart, bring the weight down; control it, come back up. Now when you do go down you definitely want to keep your legs 90; 90 degrees, you want to make sure you're pushing off from the heels and you want to make sure you flex your quads; and your hamstrings, also your glutes is also getting a workout out of this so you want to try to depending on how much weight you're putting on six to eight reps. If you're not putting too much weight you can go up higher as twelve to fifteen reps and you want to do about three to four sets each, and that's how you do your traditional squat.
