Benefits Of Doing Squat
Squats are one of the most foundational functional movements in our lives.
We’ve been squatting since we were babies – it’s probably the most natural position we can pick; as we get older and sit in unnatural positions all day – our squat form goes from perfect, to us not knowing how to squat correctly at all.
Squats are a compound movement – which means it’s a movement that uses more than one join.
Most fitness trainers recommend this as the first thing that you should learn to do much before anything else. The combination of deadlifts and squats form one of the best compound exercise combination that you can carry out in your gym. And they not just build targeted muscles, but are responsible for overall muscle growth.
So let me share with you some of the squat benefits:
1/ Squats increase hormone release
Total body exercises are potent stimulators for muscle-building hormones like testosterone and growth hormone. Because they involve almost every muscle in the body, they cause a great stimulus for growth. Load up a challenging weight to reap the anabolic hormonal benefits that will help you build muscle everywhere—not just your lower half.
2/ Multiple Muscle Engagement
Very few exercises can match BB Squats when it comes to engaging multiple muscles in the body. A perfectly executed squat is a literal symphony of muscular action that brings into play the hips, glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves, while at the same time, effectively activating the “core.” Thus, there is good reason that squats are often referred to as the “king of lower body movements.”
3/ Increase vertical jump
Having hops on the court isn’t only correlated with genetics. The ability to extend your hips powerfully is a key factor in increasing your vertical leap. Luckily, squats build hip-extension strength. As a bonus, squats not only help you produce power, but also help you absorb it. Absorbing impact translates to fewer injuries as you're coming down from getting a rebound.
4/ Squat exercises burn fat and can help you to lose weight
As well as toning muscles, squats burn calories too. As you tone and build your muscles, you are burning more and more calories, so squats make a superb general work out for health and weight loss, as well as being a specific muscle toning exercise.
