One move
Sumo Squats
How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.
Stand with a wide stance and toes turned out, lower into a squat by bending the knees and pushing the hips back, then drive up. Targets inner thighs, quads, and glutes.
Option. Hold a dumbbell at the chest (goblet style) or keep hands free. Stay taller if mobility is limited.
