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.
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.
