Front Squats
The front squat is one of the most effective exercises for activating your quads.
“You’ll need a slant board or weight plates to put your heels on to get started.
Split Squats
Split squats are a fantasticleg-strengthening exercise.
“To do these, get in a split stance with your feet about three feet apart.
Then, press through the front foot and return to the starting position.”
“To get in the correct position for this exercise, sit on a bench and then stand up.
Where you end up is exactly how close you should be to the bench.
Then, set your hips back and squat down until you lightly touch the bench,” instructs Mentus.
Once you finish your reps, you will repeat standing on the opposite leg.”
