Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Your arms should be at your sides, hands behind your thighs, palms out. Have a partner hand you a barbell from behind so you're holding the weight in back of you, hands spaced about shoulder-width apart. This is the starting position. With your back straight, slowly squat until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor. Push yourself up until you are back in the starting position. Do
four sets of 12 to 15 repetitions.
