Muscle Build
Squat and push

Sets: 3 / Reps: 20

By adding a pushing movement of the arms, your centre of gravity shifts forwards, causing the muscles in the back of your body to work more, thus reinforcing better posture during the squat.

 
 
Align your body the same way you did for the bodyweight squat while holding a light weight such as a dumb-bell, medicine ball or weight plate close to the body, below the chest.

 
Using the same motion as for the bodyweight squat, descend into a squat as far as you can without losing the arch in your lower back. Push your arms forwards as you descend and pull them in as you return to the starting position.
