Bodyweight Squats

December 27, 2022 By Dave DePew Leave a Comment

Body weight squats are simple and effective exercise that can be performed by people of all fitness levels. They are a great way to strengthen the muscles of the lower body, including the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings.

To perform a bodyweight squat, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended in front of you. Engage your core and push your hips back as you lower your body down into a squat position. Make sure to keep your chest up and your back straight as you descend. When your thighs are parallel to the ground, pause for a moment before pushing through your heels to return to the starting position.

One of the benefits of body weight squats is that they can be modified to fit your fitness level. If you’re a beginner, you can start with just a few reps and gradually increase the number as you become stronger. If you’re more advanced, you can add challenges to your squats by incorporating variations like jump squats or single-leg squats.

In addition to strengthening your lower body, body weight squats can also improve your overall mobility and stability. They can help to improve your balance and coordination, as well as increase the flexibility of your hips and ankles.

Overall, body weight squats are a great exercise to add to your fitness routine. They are easy to perform and can be done anywhere, making them a convenient option for people with busy schedules. So, if you’re looking to strengthen your lower body and improve your overall fitness, give bodyweight squats a try!
