Chair Squat
Box squat, also called chair squat, is an easy alternative to the common squat where the focus is on the concentric part of the movement, because it eliminates momentum from the movement, causing your muscles to push harder. This will no doubt strengthen and tone your glutes. All you need is a chair and your own self to do this fantastically easy exercise! Squat down as you normally do, but pause just before you touch the seat if the chair! Come up slowly and steadily. Repeat this a few times.

Goblet Squat
Work your inner thighs, butt, quads, and hamstrings with this extremely easy exercise. Your feet should be more than the usual shoulder-width apart, with your toes turned slightly out for better tension. Goblet squat is one of the best exercises for your quadriceps, because the weight of the dumbbell in the front helps to stabilize your spine and keep it straight. It is one of the safest ways to add weights to your squats. Both kettlebells and dumbbells can be used.

Plie
This is quite similar to squats, and is as easy as it looks. The only difference is that in a plie, your legs should be a bit more than the standard ?shoulder-width? apart. Raise your arms in front of you, and squat down as low as you can. Take care to tuck your tailbone, and compress your glutes as you go down. This miracle exercise will give you the perfect results in a month?s time.
Do search up these phenomenal exercises on YouTube. But, remember, you need to do them in this same order, because it is the mix that matters the most, and not the exercise. Doing any random exercise at any time won?t give you satisfactory results. Rather, doing them in an order matters.
