BENEFITS OF SQUATS

When doing squats, the muscles of the buttocks, the quadriceps, the calves, the lower back, the abdominals and the arms are worked. Its movement helps to burn fat, strengthen bones and joints, create muscle and gain strength, resistance, balance and elasticity. Squats are also good for the heart, as the up and down of the body increases the pumping of blood to the lower body.

Warm-up

We start with

To start with the squats, we’ll focus on the position. Get into a position that’s comfortable for you: some people find it helpful to put their toes out, but it’s also good to put them in parallel. If you’re not sure what’s best for you, place your feet shoulder-width apart, facing outwards at 15 degrees. Keep the whole sole of your foot on the ground, your feet should be aligned at hip level and descend by bending your knees 90 degrees. This will keep your joints supple and work the muscle groups in your legs. Push on your abdomen, as if someone were going to hit you. Look straight ahead, with your head held high.
