Exercise of the Day #2 Sumo Squats-The ladies will love this one!


Exercise: Sumo Squats (The Ladies will love this one!)
Target Muscles: Inner thigh and glutes

Sumo Squats can be done with a medicine ball, dumbbell, or plate.

~Start with your feet as far apart that is comfortable (slightly more than shoulder width),
~ Turn your toes outward(like in the picture)
~ Once in this stance make sure you are standing with a straight back (roll shoulder back/chest out), tighten your abs and glutes.
~ Now you want to squat (keeping your knees behind your toes) until your thighs are parallel with the ground (knees at 90 degree angle).
*Make sure your knees are pointing the direction of your toes, and to keep a straight back during the entire exercise.
Use a weight that is challenging but not so heavy that you will stand in an improper position.
