SQUAT PRESS

Target: Quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, core.

Position: Stand tall with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Place the tubing under the arches of your feet. With the tubing behind you, hold the handles just in front of your shoulders, as shown. Keep your elbows next to your body and your shoulders back; tighten your abs and look straight ahead.

Motion: Keeping both feet firmly planted and your knees in line with your first and second toes, bend your knees to a comfortable range of motion, but not past 90 degrees. Then press up, taking your time as you return to the starting position.

Repetition: Do two sets of 10 repetitions the first week, working up to three to four sets of 10-12 repetitions by week four.
