Lower Body Flow

Lower body, all these exercises are targeted to really tone, the quads, the hamstrings, the glutes, the inner thighs, all this area here, all right? So, prepare to squat and lunge. Remember, if you do have maybe weak knees, you're worried about your knees are gonna hurt, minimize your range of motion, don't go down too deep, and focus on the hamstrings a little bit more than the quads to create equal strength between the quads and the hamstrings, alrighty? But these are really good for your knees as long as you don't go too far down to the floor, and you minimize your range of motion. All right, so let's start.

We're gonna do a quick warm up to start with. Put your feet here with aparts, let's squat it out. We go squats and up, down, sending your hips back. Classic squats, can't get any better than a classic squat. As long as we're doing it right, your knees the pointing towards me, your toes are pointing towards me, and your hips are going back.
