Squats for women !!


The squats
How to do it: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and arms straight out in front of you. Squat down until knees are parallel to the floor. Don’t bend below parallel. Return to the starting position and repeat.

Squat exercises are great for a total lower body workout. They effectively work most of the major muscle groups of the butt, hips and thighs. Squats are also a versatile exercise. They can be done in almost any location, with or without the use of weights or equipment.

Tones the Legs

Squat exercises thoroughly engage the quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles, which helps to tone and strengthen the legs. Slowing the motion down makes the workout that much more intense.

Lifts the Butt

Doing squats gives the glutes a powerful workout, helping to tighten and lift the butt. To increase this effect, give your glutes an extra squeeze when returning to a standing position.

Strengthens the Core

Squats engage the core muscles of the body. Abdominal and back muscles are needed to keep balance during the movement. The result is a tighter, flatter abdomen and a stronger lower back.  Make a conscious effort to hold in your abdominal muscles while squatting down to increase this effect.

Increases Flexibility

Doing squats increases joint flexibility. The ankles, knees, hips and lower back are all utilized in the squatting motion. Be sure to maintain proper form to avoid injury. If you feel any pain in these areas, stop doing the exercises until the pain is gone.
Ladies let us reap the benefits..they are exercises which require no equipment and can be done anywhere..there is no sweet without bitter , you might be sick when you start the early days but as you keep doing your body will adjust to it..!!
