The squat is an excellent compound exercise. It is one of our
favorite exercises because it really
works the quadriceps, hamstrings
and glutes.
There are many variations of
the standard squat exercise. For
example, there is the front squat,
sissy squat, hack squat, full squat,
split squat, single-leg squat and a
few more. What ever variation you
choose is up to you. They all work
the thigh muscles and are effective.
Here is how a regular squat is
performed:
Starting Position: Begin with
both feet under the hips. Hands
are relaxed by your sides. You may
choose to hold free weights for
extra intensity.
The Movement: Slowly lower
as though you were going to sit in
a chair on the inhale. Keep your
back flat and eyes forward. Try to
keep the bulk of your body weight
on your heels. Lower all the way
down until your thighs are parallel
with the floor. Hold here for a
few seconds before slowly rising
back to the starting position as you
exhale.
Notes: Some variations of the
squat will have different directions.
In any case, have with a professional watch your form and critique
your movement.
