Try this great leg workout that’s a full-body workout.

Most experts would agree that squats are one of the best leg exercises that is also a total body exercise. It is important to know and understand that general body exercises are the best type of exercises to burn fat and calories. They should be the foundation or foundation of your exercise program.

Weighted back squats are a good exercise. Many times you won’t have access to weights and other equipment to perform back squats. Also, you’ll need to develop your squat skills in order to maximize your lifts. You may need a trained spotter to make sure you don’t injure or injure yourself when performing back squats.

Personally, I prefer squat movements that can be performed anywhere, anytime. You will not need weights. This is why I love lunges and other bodyweight movements. They can be done anywhere at any time. You will get a great workout. When you add other simple movements like presses, twists, jumps, etc. to the lunge, you will be doing a compound exercise movement that is effective and efficient for your overall body workout.

As a change of pace to those compound movements, you can add elastic bands or any other object such as an exercise ball or even a light dumbbell to your squat movement. A great exercise I learned from some bodyweight trainers is the goblet squat (using a resistance band or exercise ball). It’s a simple but effective movement in a full body exercise movement.

Here’s how to do a goblet squat (using a resistance band):

* Get a sturdy band and tie it around your feet and hold it with your hands in front of you. You want the sturdy band (or some may call it an elastic band) on the inside of your legs.

* Make sure there is enough tension to provide some tension when doing the squat movement.

* Now, with your legs firmly planted and just like doing normal squats, you will quickly raise and lower in the squat movement.

* You want to keep your back upright with a slight arch in your lower back.

* You must keep your knees over your feet during the goblet squat.

* As you rapidly (but steadily) rise and fall, you will exhale as you rise and inhale as you descend. Focus on the exhale (since you will be inhaling naturally).

* You can try this goblet squat for about 30 to 40 seconds.

* Instead of a resistance band, you can also use light dumbbells or an exercise ball. But I prefer a sturdy band when doing the goblet squat.
