How to do a proper Squat


How to do a proper squat
Squats work the quads, hamstrings, and gluts all at the same time
Stand feet shoulder width apart with shoulders stacked over hips weight in your heels
bend your knees and lower as if you were going to sit in a chair
keep knees over your ankles and behind your toes
Ouch to your knees if they go past your toes
lower to 90 degrees and then stand up
practice with a real chair to master the move but do not sit in the chair
also you can try a wall squat to master the motion of going down and back
lower to 90 degrees on the wall with your toes out past your knees
Thanks to MedicineNet for this link

How to do the proper Lunge


Lunges work all major muscles of the lower body
Take a big step forward front knee is behind the front toe
Bend front knee to aprox 90 degrees
Keep weight on the back toe and drop your back knee almost to the floor
Back knee should be under the hips which are under the shoulders
Roll shoulders so weight is shifted back and your abs are engaged

This is one of the most improperly performed exercise.  Do it right so you do not hurt your knees

Thanks MedicineNet for the link the proper lunge
