Exercise 7 - Squat
Development of the thighs and the calf muscles.
Method: Stand feet apart with the bar balanced behind your neck. Sink down keeping the back flat and head up until your thighs are horizontal. Rise up onto your toes then back to the start position. Do not let the knees turn inwards. A squat machine is better for beginners until they are familiar with the range of movement but use of free weights is ultimately better as it allows a wider range of muscles to be used.
