What will happen to the body if you are not lazy and do squats every day

Squats are one of the so-called compound exercises. In them we work several large muscle groups at the same time – and combine them in one movement. In the case of squats, these are the muscles of the thighs, buttocks and core, and sometimes even the muscles of the back. This is why squats do so many good things for the body. Here are the four most important effects.

The quadriceps is the largest muscle in the body. Therefore, his training helps burn a lot of calories in a short time and boosts the metabolism. And even after a workout, the muscles continue to work! Therefore, if you want to lose weight and speed up your metabolism, squat.

By regularly practicing squats, you will strengthen your muscles and develop flexibility and balance. All this is necessary to have a strong and healthy body. Example: A body trained with squats (and other exercises, of course) finds it easier to adopt the correct posture when lifting weights, instead of straining the back.

Squats don’t just benefit your muscles – you also strengthen your bones with this compound exercise. As we age, our bone density automatically decreases and bones become more porous – a problem especially for women over 40. Regular exercise is a very effective way to strengthen bones. Postmenopausal women who do squats several times a week have higher bone density than no exercise.

Activating your abdominal and back muscles helps you work on healthy upright posture for the long term. But for this, it is important to master the correct squat technique: keep your back straight, contract your abdominal muscles and bring your shoulders back and down. The effect on posture is enhanced when you raise your arms above your head during the exercise. Don’t forget to lower your shoulders!
