Exercise Benefits

Squats are a great exercise to tone the legs and the glutes and to strengthen the knee muscles. If done regularly, you can expect to see improvements in both your flexibility and balance. Squats are also great for getting the blood pumping through the entire body, thus promoting circulation, removing waste, and reducing cellulite.

Sets And Reps

Squats are a low intensity, bodyweight exercise, that can be performed virtually anywhere. If your goal is to lose weight and increase endurance, you can start with 3 sets of 15 to 20 repetitions. If you want to build muscle mass and gain strength, grab a set of dumbbells and do 3 sets of 8 to 15 repetitions.
