Squats are a unique exercise for the whole body. All sports physiologists unanimously say that squatting is the best exercise possible.
No other exercise has such a complex effect on all our muscles and body systems as squats. This is due to the fact that this exercise involves the largest muscle groups in our body. Legs, glutes, back and abs.
The fact is that the press and extensors of the back perform the function of maintaining our spinal column in an upright position during movement. In addition, due to such large-scale effects as squats, we achieve a very good release of the necessary hormones that tone our muscles and contribute to faster fat burning.
- Place your feet shoulder-width apart for convenience. Imagine that you need to jump forward, and your legs will automatically be in the most comfortable position for squats.
- Slowly lower yourself down, keeping your back straight, eyes looking in front of you. It is very important not to round your back and lower your pelvis below the horizontal (low squats).
- Return to the starting position as you exhale. Those. going down, you breathe in air, and rising, you breathe it out.
You need to do as many such repetitions as you can. If you can twenty - great, if you can a hundred - even better. Your main goal in this exercise is to clog your muscles with blood as you do the work.
