Body-Weight Squats
Body-weight squats target the legs and gluteal muscles. Strong legs can help prevent falls.

Step 1: Stand with your arms by your sides and your feet shoulder-width apart.
Step 2: Slowly squat down until your knees reach a 90-degree angle while extending your arms straight out in front of you. Extending your arms will help keep you balanced and make this exercise more challenging. Be sure to push your hips back so your knees do not extend beyond your toes while squatting. This is critical for protecting your knees.
Step 3: Slowly stand back up, and try not to rush. Take about 1 to 2 seconds to move in both directions.
Step 4: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 12 repetitions. Body squats are an excellent way to maintain muscle mass and strength as you age.
