Fab up your backside...basic squat

It's an age-old question, "How do I fab up my jiggly booty?"

So, for the next few Mondays, I'm going to post different squats and lunges to target the lower body. After all, swimsuit season is just AROUND THE CORNER!!

1. Basic Squat:

Start with feet shoulder width apart, toes pointed forward.

Hands can rest on waist to support the power back.

Next...Bend knees until they are almost parallel to the floor. (If this is painful...STOP! Try not bending down as far, or seek medical attention.)

Sit back through your heels, like you're going to sit on a chair. Make sure knees don't go in front of the toes. Safety First! Knees should stay aligned with the ankles.

Last...Come back up to an almost-straight leg. If you straighten the leg entirely, it makes this move less difficult. Your choice!

Add weights at the hips for higher intensity.

REPS: Beginner: 3 sets of 10

Intermediate: 3 sets of 12

Advanced: 3 sets of 15 with weights (5-10lbs)

Happy squatting everyone!
