Squats are important because they build significant lower body, core, and overall strength, which improves athletic performance and makes everyday movements easier. They also enhance balance, mobility, and flexibility, strengthen joints and bones, and can contribute to weight management by burning calories and boosting metabolism.
Strength and athletic performance
Mobility, balance, and injury prevention
- Squats increase the range of motion in your hips, knees, and ankles, which is crucial for maintaining flexibility as you age.
- Strengthening your core and stabilizing muscles helps improve your balance and can prevent falls.
- Strengthening the muscles, ligaments, and tendons around your knees and ankles can help protect them and make them more stable.
Overall health and well-being
