1. BACK SQUAT
Targets: Quads, glutes, hamstrings, core
- Rest the bar against the back of your shoulders – not on your neck – and hold the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than your shoulders.
- Keep your elbows pointing down.
- Your feet should be a little more than shoulder-width apart, with your toes pointing outwards slightly.
- Squat until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor.
- Broadly speaking, the deeper you can squat, the better – but only go as far as your mobility will allow.
- Drive back up through your heels to return to the start position.
2. FRONT SQUAT
Targets: Quads, glutes, hamstrings, core
