At-home Gravity Workout to build muscle and balance : 1 - Squats

1 - Squats :

Squats are one of the best lower body exercises you can do. They are multi-joint exercises which target all the muscles of the hips, glutes and thighs. Fast paced frequent repetitions will produce maximum results. For beginners to do the exercise: Place a chair just behind you and stand in front of it with feet about hip- or shoulder-width apart. Contract the abs and keep them tight as you bend the knees and slowly squat towards the chair.

Keep the knees behind the toes as you sit down on the chair for a few seconds. Contract the glutes and hamstrings to lift up out of the chair and begin extending the legs. Fully extend the legs until you're back to standing position. Repeat this for 1-3 sets of 10-16 repetitions. To progress, squat down until you're just hovering over the chair, but not sitting all the way down. Always keep the knees in line with the toes!
