Squats are a type of leg exercise. They are one of the best functional exercises for helping in mobility and balance and gearing your body to complete real-world activities with ease. You can do them anywhere, anytime and don’t require any equipment either. What are the benefits of squats?

1- Toning of Legs – Squats engage the important muscles of the legs and hence help tone and strengthen them.

2- Increases Flexibility – Squats increase the flexibility of joints. However, you need to maintain the proper form and do it perfectly so that you avoid injuries of any kind. The lower back, hips, knees and ankles are all engaged during squatting and so the respective joints get strengthened.

3- Burns Extra Calories – Squats work on major muscle groups and make the entire lower body have a thorough workout. Every time you workout the muscles, you burn extra calories.

4- Core Muscles Get Stronger – Squats make the lower back and abdominal muscles stronger.

5- Healthy Bones and Tissues – Squats help strengthen the bones and joints. The bones get stronger and denser and the connective tissues get reinforced too.

6- Improve Posture and Balance – Squats are an excellent exercise form that helps the person improve his/her posture and balance as well. Since proper form is a must, concentration is also a must.
