One of the very best exercises
An absolutely great exercise, which everybody should be good at, even if its tough at first, which it probably will be, is …. the Squat!
The squat works the thighs, glutes, hamstrings, lower back, core, gets your heart rate up, brings out a sweat and allows you to lift more weight than compared to exercises which will get you burning more calories too!
The squat can be adapted to help you reach many goals. Here is a rundown of benefits:
- Burn calories
- Get your heart rate up
- Get a sweat on
- Build muscle
- Lift more weight
Of course the better your squat, the more you will be able to do.
I do see many people in the gym who cannot do a good squat. This is mainly because of tightness, poor movement patterns and not getting the necessary coaching to improve their squat.
So the beginning phase would be to reduce tightness, increase flexibility and master the basic movement of the squat.
I will bring more information on the squat and what you can do to get good at it!
Fantastic post… But how do you handle people who disagree?
I would ask why they disagree and see what they say.
Informative post.
It makes me happy that intelligent people write about this topic for once.
