"Do you wear a lot of flats? I live in them. Nothing against heels, but have two little kids and I work from home (nuf said!). Unfortunately, flats aren&amp;#x27;t the most flattering shoes for most legs, warn fashion insiders. But, if you&amp;#x27;re adding this move into your fitness routine now and then, it may give you a leg up (sorry, couldn&amp;#x27;t resist that one) ... The basic squat is one of the best lower-body exercises you can do, say the fitness experts at the fitness equipment company LifeFitness. &amp;quot;This simple move simultaneously works glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves and can be accessorized for maximum benefit.&amp;quot; Bonus, they say: It works the muscles that can help give your legs the definition that will make them rock any pair of ballet flats! Here&amp;#x27;s the easy how-to: *Stand with feet hip-width apart, toes facing straight ahead or angled outward like a ballet dancer. *Inhale and slowly lower hips towards the floor while bending the knees, keeping your torso straight. *Draw your belly button toward the spine to activate abdominal muscles. Keep your knees behind your toes. *Squat to almost 90 degrees then exhale as you stand, pushing up onto the balls of your feet and flexing the calves. *Repeat the move for three sets of 12 reps. Happy squatting! :) P.S. Want to work on your legs even more? The move that helps you get &amp;quot;mini skirt legs&amp;quot;! And, check out the fitness gadget everyone is raving about: the Fitbit.
