Are you wanting to hit multiple muscle groups while doing one simple movement? Then squats are the exercises for you! This exercise will target over 7 muscles. To start, stand with your feet hip width apart, pick your toes up in your shoes. Did you feel your weight shift, that is the way you should feel while doing squats. If you place your weight throughout your whole foot you’ll find yourself shifting forward and your knees may come up over your toes. When this happens you actually cause more strain on your knees which is why people always complain on knee pain while they do squats. So remember you want your weight in your heels and just sit back as if you are going to sit in a chair. You want your chest lift, always remember to look up, it will help keep your chest elevated. It will take some time to get use to it and as you do you’ll be able to get a deeper squat. Here are some pictures of different ways to do squats.

How do you do squats with “bad” knees, please?
Hey Janis, the best way would be to use the stability ball up against the wall. You will push your weight into the ball and step your feet out, this will help you have better posture. You could also try it in a pool, in the shallow end. Another way would be to try and use a leg press machine at a fitness center.
