Back squat

- This will increase the strength of your posterior chain (the muscles at the back of your body), joints and tendons, Takacs says.

GOOD FOR HOW TO

Set up a squat rack (not pictured) with a bar at shoulder level or just below. Place your feet wider than shoulder width and rest the bar on your traps. Grab the bar with your hands outside your shoulders. Squat so your thighs are parallel to the floor. Brace your core and press evenly through your feet to stand.
