How to: Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart and your hands at akimbo. Take a long step backwards with your right leg and slowly bend the knee downward – so your knees make two 90° with the ground. Pull yourself back up returning your right leg to its original position. This is a rep. Make six reps per leg. Watch an instructional video here.

  1. Lateral Split Squats

While the regular squats will help you build strength in your legs, the lateral split squats can build more strength in each leg and also target different muscles.
