PURPOSE OF EXERCISE: To develop the
front of the thighs and glutes.
EXECUTION: (1) Holding a barbell
across the back of your shoulders, stand
upright with your feet together. (2)
Keeping your head up, back straight, and
chest thrust out, take a step forward,
bend your knees, and bring your trailing
knee almost to the floor. The step should
be long enough so that the trailing leg is
almost straight. Push yourself back up to
the starting position with one strong and
decisive movement, bringing your feet
together, then step forward with the
other foot and repeat the movement. You
can do all your repetitions with one leg,
then switch and repeat with the other, or
you can alternate legs throughout the set.
