45 Degree Squats: Stand up straight with your legs two shoulders width apart and point both feet out 45 degrees. Squat down, leading with the gluteus (your rear-end), keeping the back erect until you reach 90 degrees. Make sure your knees are not over the toes. The knees should be behind in line with the ankles. Press up using the heels and squeeze the gluteus and inner thigh as you rise up to the start position.

(This exercise can be done with or without dumbbells.) If you are using the dumbbells, place them on the hips as shown.
