Sumo Squat
The sumo squat is a modification of the standard squat that focuses on the inner thigh muscles.

Step 1: Stand with your feet approximately three to four feet apart and turned out about 45 degrees.
Step 2: Reach your arms straight out in front of you and tighten your core to increase your balance.
Step 3: Shift your weight into your heels while pushing your hips behind you as you slowly sink into a squatting position. Continue to lower yourself until your knees reach 90 degrees; be sure they remain over your toes. Keep your back straight, your chest out, and your head up during movements. During the squat, don't let your heels rise off the floor, and keep your knees from moving inward.
Step 4: Once squatting, push through your heels and move slowly back to standing. Avoid springing up, and maintain control of your movements while keeping your core tight.
Step 5: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
