Leg exercises
Name of exercise:   SQUATS
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Start Position Finish Position
What to do: The best way to get into position for squats is to place the bar on a squat rack.  Put the desired weight on the bar and step under the bar so that it rests on the thick part of the trapezius muscle.  Lift the weight off the rack and step back away from the rack.  Point your feet straight (many do this with their feet pointed out--this is incorrect) and bend at the knees bring the barbell down with you.  Squat until your rear is at about the level of your knees and stand back up.  As you squat down keep your head up and your back arched somewhat. 
Don't Forget to: Don't lean over too much and keep the feet straight.  Many perform this exercise with weights under their heels.  This is not good as it perpetuates poor form and dysfunctional movement of the lower body.
Equipment needed: Barbell.
Muscles worked:

This is a classic exercise. It is great for the entire lower body (excepting the calves).  It works the quads, hamstrings, and glutes.
