Squat

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, abdominals tight and arms at shoulder level in front of you. Keeping your back straight, bend knees and lower your body (as if you were about to sit on a chair) until thighs are almost parallel to the floor. Make sure to always keep your heels in contact with the floor and that your knees never go past your ankles. Hold this position for two counts. Return to starting position by squeezing your buttocks and quadriceps on your way up. Do three sets of 15 repetitions, resting no more than 60 seconds between each set. This exercise strengthens the front of the thighs (quadriceps), back of the thighs (hamstrings) and buttocks (gluteus maximus).

Note: Avoid this exercise if it bothers your lower back or your knees.
