10 Minute Workout - 5 Super Quick Total-Body Exercises You Can Do At Home 

#2 Squats

Squats need to be done effectively for maximum effectiveness. It is a compound movement as it uses almost every muscle group in the body. This exercise increases the strength in your knees and hips as well.

Instructions

Step 1: Stand with feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart. Extend your hands straight out in front of you to help keep your balance. You can also bend the elbows or clasp the fingers.

Step 2: Sit back and down like you're sitting in an imaginary chair. Keep your heels glued to the floor and your thighs parallel to the floor as you get into this position.

Step 3: Keep your body tight, and push through your heels to bring yourself back to the starting position.

Important Tips: Continue this for 60 seconds followed by a 30-second break. As you squat down, focus on keeping your knees in line with your feet.
