1. Chair Squats: There are many different types of squats. Here is one simple way of going about doing this common exercise. Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Squat down, making sure to keep your back straight, your abs contracted, and your knees behind your toes. Bring your butt down so that it lightly touches a chair behind you. You want your thighs to be basically parallel with the ground. Keeping all of your weight on your heels, squeeze your butt muscles as you slowly stand up and return to the starting position. Repeat this motion for several sets and reps. For a more intense workout you can add some free weights.

2. Plié Squats: This is a ballet type movement. Stand with your feed wider than your shoulders and your toes out at a comfortable angle. Your toes and knees should be pointed in the same direction with this movement. For added intensity you can add some free weights. Bend your knees and lower your upper body towards the floor. You should keep your knees in line with your toes, your abs tight, and your back straight. Push back up with the heels of your feet. Remember, don't lock your knees. Repeat for several sets and reps.
