Try using weights to add intensity to your squats.  Begin this exercise by holding a kettle bell in each hand.  Place them on each shoulder, completely bending the elbows.  Keep your arms close to your body.  Now spread your feet about four feet apart.  Squeeze your abs and bend your knees to squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground.  Now come back to a standing position.  Repeat the movement for 2 sets of 12 repetitions.

The traditional plie squat can be intensified with this exercise.  Begin by holding a kettle bell in each hand.  Bend your elbows and place the weights up on each shoulder as you keep your arms close to your body.  Point your toes out to each side.  Put one foot on a balance board and place the other foot laterally, about four feet apart.  Squeeze your abs as you bend at the knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.  Now come back to a standing position.  Repeat the movement for 2 sets of 12 repetitions (on each leg).

Here is an alternative to an ordinary squat.  Begin the movement by holding a kettle bell in each hand.  Completely bend your elbows and place the weights up on each shoulder.  Keep your arms close to your body.  Point your toes out to each side and put one foot on a bosu ball with the other foot placed laterally, about four feet away.  Your abs should be tight as you bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.  Now come back to a standing position.  Repeat the movement for 2 sets of 12 repetitions (on each leg).
