Weekly Workout: Squat Series, Part 1

Plie Squat:

There are many different types of squats you can do. All of them work the butt, hip and thigh area, but the plie squat puts more emphasis on the inner thigh.

Along with the SLDL, the Plie Squat has found its way into my workout routine. Obviously, it is another one of my favorites. If you have a yoga ball, you can do the plie squats while holding the ball above your head. You can also hold a hand weight in front of you as you squat down, or you can hold a weight over each thigh.

You tube has a good video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCVANw41B8c
