How To Properly Do a Plie Squat
A plie squat is a great way to tone and strengthen your inner thighs. If you find that you have a problem with your inner thighs and regular squats are not making any difference, try adding in plie squats to your fitness routine.
1. Stand with your feet slightly farther apart than hip-width. Your toes and knees should be turned out in a comfortable position. Make sure to keep your back straight. Place your hands on your hips.
2. Bend your knees, lowering your hips without rotating your pelvis forward or backward. You are sinking straight down into the plie squat. Make sure to keep your abdominals contracted so that you can work them also and support your back during the exercise.
3. Straighten your legs back to starting position and repeat the exercise again. A beginner should aim for at least 10-12 repetitions.
4. For a more advanced plie squat, hold dumbbells in your hands and as you perform the exercise, place them on your upper thighs.
Okay, I just tried that and it showed me how out of shape I am
My knees felt it the most. Great tip. I’ll definitely be trying it with my dumbells.
