It’s our move of the week – Squat

Tone your bum with squats – one of the ultimate lower-body slimmers that will give you a pert tush.

How to do it

Stand with your feet around shoulder-width apart, or just slightly wider if this is more comfortable, holding a barbell in place, resting on the back of your shoulders.

Looking straight ahead of you and keeping your chest forwards, lower yourself toward the ground, ensuring that the knees stay in line with the toes.

Keep the weight in your bottom and heels. Once you have lowered yourself as far as is comfortable, push up through the heels back to the start.

Top tip

To make this move harder, hold a pair of dumbbells by your sides, or a barbell resting across your shoulders.
