The squat is one of those hard hitting, muscle building exercises that should be included in any leg day program. The benefits are multiple:
- You don't need machines or weights, since it's a body weight exercise.
- You can do it almost anywhere, since you need little space and no equipment.
- It works the large muscles in your legs and butt, so it packs a powerful punch.
- It improves mobility and balance
Do not bend knees further than 90 degrees.
WATCH:
Make sure you do the exercise correctly to avoid injury. Speak to a doctor before you start a new exercise regime.
