Smith Sumo Squat

The Smith Sumo Squat is a leg exercise done on a Smith machine. It mainly works your butt muscles, but also helps your front thigh muscles, back thigh muscles, and calves. You stand with your feet far apart and use the machine's guided bar to help you squat safely while you build strength.
