Exercises (Plié Squats)
Active Lifestyle 
Consult your physician before starting any diet and/or exercise plan.
Muscles Worked
Thighs (back) or Hamstrings,
Butt or Gluteus Maximus or Minimus,
Thighs (front) or Quadriceps
Position and Movement
Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width apart, with your toes pointed on an angle outwards. Hold a dumbell and let it hang in front of you. Keep your torso upright while moving downward as if you were lowering yourself into a chair until your thighs are nearly parallel with the floor.
Tip
If you don't have time to make it to the gym, this is a great exercise that can easily be done at home with an object like a jug of water.
