Fat Attack Exercise for Legs/Glutes: Prisoner Squats with Twist
- Begin by interlacing your fingers behind your head and spacing your feet about shoulder-width apart. Keeping your back straight, lower yourself into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
- Smoothly rise back up and twist your torso to your right side as far as possible. Twist back to start position, then lower yourself back down and repeat to your left side.
- Alternate back and forth with each repetition.
Proper form for activating your glues while performing a squat requires that you push your hips back as you lower your body.
Always avoid shifting your weight forward to prevent your knees going past your toes, which may cause knee stiffness and pain.
Perform 2-3 sets of 20 repetitions, resting about 1 minute between sets.
