The squat is without question the best exercise for the leg muscles. With squats, you can easily work the hips, thighs, and butt in one simple motion. At first glance, the squat appears easy. However, the perfect squat technique usually requires a bit of practice. Below are instructions for performing the squat with resistance tubing.

First, stand on the resistance tube with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Grasp the tubing handles and position them at shoulder height. With your head straight, squat down until your legs are about parallel to the floor. As you squat, keep your knees behind your toes. Slowly return to the starting position. Exhale as you stand up.
