Belt Squat Machine
Step onto the platform of the belt squat machine and fasten the loading belt around your hips so the weight hangs between your legs. Set your feet shoulder-width apart with toes slightly turned out and grab the handrails for balance. Bracing your core, bend at the hips and knees to descend until your thighs reach at least parallel, keeping your chest up and back neutral. Drive through your heels to stand back up, squeezing your glutes and quads at the top.
