Lower Body Exercises: Frog Squats

I’ve gotten a few requests for lower body exercises that can be done in limited space and without a gym. Here is a powerful leg exercises you can do pretty much anywhere.

Frog Squats- I like these because you get a nice calves work out as well.

Start with legs wider than hip distance and squat a bit past 90 degrees. Find you balance and keep you back straight. You will need to engage your core so be sure to keep your posture as perfect as possible.

From here, raise your heels off the ground so you are balancing on the balls of your feet. Hold for 2 second and come down. Repeat for 20 reps.
