Hi everybody, it's Joanna with Action
News's fitness tip. We are at the AV
Apartments in King of Prussia. I have
one of my favorite squat exercises that
you're going to want to try. Listen, it
targets the quads. It targets the
glutes. We know what those are. And it
targets your inner thighs.
What more do you want? Nothing. I know.
And I'm gonna do this
without any weights.
Okay. Is it going to be effective, show?
Yes, it's going to be effective. Watch
me. Ready?
We got this. So, listen. The name of
this game is pivot. Pivot. If you know
the friends reference, you'll get it. If
not, it's okay. Toes face forward.
Then, we're going to pivot and rotate
the feet out. I'll go slow and you can
watch me. And then we'll pick up pace.
Okay, so butt is back, right? So many
people squat improperly. They do. They
squat like this. They're pushing their
knees over their toes. That's terrible
for your knees. Butt back. Drive through
those heels. Like you're going to sit
back into a chair. Chest stays up. Core
stays tight. Okay, I'm done talking.
Let's get to work. So, we're going to
squat. Then you're going to pivot. Turn
the feet out. Then turn the feet
forward. Then turn the feet out. That's
it. However, you're going to stay in the
squat the whole time. Okay, you want to
do it together? Come on. Moving your
body is always fun. Ready? Let's do it.
We're going to squat and turn out. Turn
in and turn out. Turn in. So, see, I'm
not breaking the squat.
I'm not breaking it. I'm not coming up
and giving myself a break. No, I'm going
to go
until I can't go anymore. Until I start
compromising form. I can't feel my my
leg.
Listen. Right in the inner thigh. Oh,
the moment you rotate that, it's so
good. You can do this anywhere.
Anywhere. And it makes a big difference
in your legs, in the strength of your
legs, in the even the look of your legs.
Over time, they'll get tighter.
Now, listen. You want to turn it up a
notch. I'm still talking. You want to
turn it up a notch, you're going to hold
the weight at your chest.
You're welcome. Don't say Don't say I
don't give you anything. Just gave you
that gift. Put a weight in your hand and
it's
15 out of 10.
You going to try it? I really hope so.
Give it a try today.
