Squats are one of the most effective forms of exercise that exist, and there are a ton of positive effects and benefits that you can build by using them. The great thing about squats is that in their most basic form, they require absolutely no equipment to do, and are at their core a calisthenic exercise that can use your own body weight as a means to work out effectively.Squatting works various muscles very effectively due to the fact that it is a compound exercise, meaning it’s an exercise that targets multiple muscle groups at the same time.
In particular, squatting builds muscle in the glutes (the muscles that make up the butt!), thighs and quadriceps, and hamstrings as well as various supporting muscles in the core, back, and arms depending on which variant of squat you do and the specific technique you use.Another great benefit of squatting is that the movement is very dynamic, and doesn’t only isolate and target muscles, but the various ligaments, tendons, and joints of the body that facilitate the movement.
As squatting is a full-body movement and workout, and highly dynamic, you will notice improvements to your balance as your body’s supporting muscles strengthen, as well as better mobility and flexibility as your joints become used to the movement and more supple and healthy.
This can help develop power as well as prevent injury and is a great way to improve your general health and mobility, supporting other activities which all build towards better health and fitness.Squatting is one of the best fat burners because it is so dynamic and works so many muscles at the same time.  Another great thing is that squats are quite explosive, so they can work effectively as part of a HIIT workout or other type of condensed fat loss workout regime, allowing you to create flexibility and avoid boredom which is a key reason why people lose motivation when working out and starting to try and build these good habits.
