Smith Squat
The smith squat is a lower body exercise done on a Smith machine. It mainly works your glutes, but also helps your thighs and calves. The machine guides the bar in a straight line, which helps you stay steady. This makes it a good choice if you are learning how to squat or want to focus on your muscles without needing to balance a loose bar.
