Weighted Sissy Squat

This is a tough leg workout that mostly builds the muscles on the front of your thighs. It also works your bottom and the back of your legs. You need good balance and strength to do it right, especially when holding extra weight.

How to Perform

  1. 1Stand tall with your feet as wide as your shoulders. Turn your toes out just a little bit.
  2. 2Hold a weight tight against your chest with both hands, or rest a bar across your upper back.
  3. 3Keep your chest lifted high and your tummy muscles tight. Slowly lower your body by bending your knees and hips like you are sitting down.
  4. 4Go down until your thighs are flat like a table, or as low as you can comfortably go.
  5. 5Stop for a short moment at the bottom. Then, push hard through your heels to stand back up straight.
  6. 6Do this again for as many times as you need.
