Squats
"One way is to stand with your heels on a book, go all the way down, and come all the way up. The other is to stand flatfooted on the floor and go all the way up and down...Stand with your feet 12 to 15 inches apart...Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, then raise yourself slowly up again. Remember to keep your body upright and your back straight throughout the exercise. Breathe deeply - inhaling as you squat, exhaling as you come back up - and hold your chest high and square." (Arnold: The Education of a Body builder p. 170)
Modifications:
To increase the intensity, you can add weight with dumbbells or a barbell. Caution: If you are adding weight, be sure to go no further than your thighs being parallel to the floor.
