SQUATS 101
# 1: Why Should You Do It
If you're looking for a powerful way to boost your physical health ( including looks ), look no further then performing body weight squats. Squats will automatically strengthen your posterior chain, thus giving you better posture.
Why ?
Increase Strength and Power:
Squats build strength and power in glutes, hamstrings and quads, which are primary stabilizers when moving on the field. The move also improves hip extension power, which is essential to increase vertical jump. Squats stimulate muscle-building hormones, which strengthen the entire body. Weighted squats will challenge the body to overcome a force and reap the anabolic benefits.
Get Major Definitions in Legs and Butt:
Squats target the quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes. The basic movement is a fast way to build lean muscle, which results in tight, toned limbs. For girls, we know it's a myth that you'll "bulk up" by lifting weights, so don't be afraid to squat a challenging weight.
Improve posture:
Wether you're performing a weighted or body weight squat, you'll be engaging the upper back (lower/upper trapezius and rhomboids) to help stabilize the body through the movement. This strengthens the muscles responsible for proper posture.
No More Chicken Legs:
This one is self explanatory guys.......
