Squat Leg Lift

Target: Inner and outer thighs, butt, & quadriceps


Start: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips.


Move: Squat until thighs are almost parallel to floor. Stand up while lifting left leg off floor and extending it out to the side; hold for one second. Lower leg back to floor as you return to squat position. Stand back up, this time lifting right leg. (If this move is too difficult, hold the back of a sturdy chair or wall for support until you become stronger.)


Repeat: 8 to 10 repetitions per leg
