Look Great From Behind
December 01, 2005
If you are going to pick one exercise to train the entire lower body, then squats should be your choice. They target the entire leg, including the butt. There are two common mistakes that beginners make that you want to be sure to avoid. First, never allow your knees to travel forward beyond your toes as you descend. This places a great deal of stress on the joints so focus on keeping your weight back. Secondly, do not go below parallel, this means do not let you hips drop below your knees. Following these tips will get you strong and lean legs, pain free.
