Top Exercise for Busy Moms. I do this exercise every day!

Here is one of my favorite exercises I do every day, Squats! I love squats because they tighten and tone your thighs, butt and strengthen your core. 

I do alot of exercises with free weights. Why? Because they give the fastest results. Free weights require your muscles and body to control the weight as opposed to training on a machine, where you follow the track of the machine. You get more benefits, a tighter core and it's much more convenient. You can get a few pairs of dumbbells and do dozens of exercises. 

Here is one of my all time favorites. SQUATS.

How to do squats:


This exercise can be done with or without a weighted object.

Squats:

This exercise can be done with or without a weights.

Starting position: Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart, toes pointing forward, core tight, shoulders retracted (pulled back and pressed down), head neutral (looking straight ahead.)

The motion:

From this position, squat down as if you were going to sit in a chair. When your upper legs or thighs are parallel to the ground, exhale as you push up through your heels and inhale as you return to starting position. Repeat 20 times.

Go Fit Moms!
Point toes outward to focus on toning the inner thighs.
