The benefits of doing squats





Summer is approaching us very soon, and if if you want to get fit fast YOU MUST INCORPORATE SQUATS
Squat exercises are great for a total lower body workout. They effectively work most of the major muscle groups of the butt, hips and thighs. Squats are also a versatile exercise They can be done in almost any location, with or without the use of weights or equipment.

           THE BENEFITS OF SQUATS

Lifts the Booty

Doing squats gives the butt a powerful workout, helping to tighten and lift the butt. To increase this effect, give your butt an extra squeeze when returning to a standing position
Tones the Legs
Squat exercises engage the quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles, which  tone and strengthen the legs. 
.Strengthens the Stomach
Squats engage the core muscles of the body. Stomach and back muscles are needed to keep balance during the movement. The result is a tighter, flatter abdomen and a stronger lower back.  Make a mindful effort to hold in your stomach muscles while squatting down to increase the overall result people.

More Flexibility

Doing squats increases flexibility. All muscle parts of your legs are used to perform a SQUAT. Meaning: All muscles will be effected during the exercise. Be sure to have proper form to avoid injury. If you feel any pain in those particular areas, stop doing the exercises until the pain is gone. REMEMBER SAFETY FIRST!!!!

Upper Body Workout

Adding weights to a squat routine engages the muscles of your upper body, giving you a full body workout in one exercise. SO DO THE SQUAT AND STOP COMPLAINING. SSSSHHHEEESSSHHH!!!!! You can do this with a barbell, dumbbells or a weight vest When adding weights to your routine, start with lighter ones and build as your strength increases.
