They have many variations and can be done both with weight and just bodyweight.
The many benefits that stem from doing squats include:
- Increased lean muscles mass in your legs which in turn boosts your metabolism
- Increased core muscle strength due to activation of the lower back muscles and abdominals during the squat motion
- Squats will create stronger legs which will allow you to run faster and longer
- Squats burn a lot of calories per minute because you are activating so many muscle groups during the overall movement
- Squats will increase bone mineral density and inhibit the potential of osteoporosis, which is accelerated by a lack of movement and strength training.
