Hey Guys!
After I had my son almost 2 years ago, my workout goals changed. It wasn't about being skinny anymore, it was about being healthy and making my body strong. I wanted to build muscle and tone up! I went from solely doing cardio to lifting weights and most importantly doing squats!!!
I was so lost about the benefits of squats. Yes they do help grow your booty, but little did I know about all the other benefits.
1. It is a total body workout
that's right, one move works everything! It primarily focuses on your calves, hamstrings and quadriceps. It also releases a hormone which helps improve muscle growth in your body
2. Helps with daily activities
You probably don't realize it but we squat all the time!! As a mother I squat down to talk to my son, when playing with him and when I'm cleaning up the food that he has thrown on the floor. It helps build muscle in your body which helps with your mobility and stability..
3. Burn fat!
One of the benefits of lifting weights is that you burn fat! Squats is no different. Because you are building muscle you end up burning more calories throughout the day. Who doesn't love that?!
4. Help with Balance and mobility
When you squat you work your legs and your stomach muscles. When you are standing you use all those muscles, and it helps make them strong which allows you to have better balance. It improves the communication between your brain and those muscles which can help prevent you from falling!
5.Be a better athlete
As a mom I love this next benefit. Squatting helps you run faster and jump higher.
5. 1 workout for the entire body
Squats also help tighten your butt, work your abs, and backside. All of these muscles are being worked out.
6. Help with waste removal
Squats help fluids move through your body and help regulate the removal of waste
With all these benefits why wouldn't you add a few squats to your next workout?
