Improve lower back strength

Strength training like squats can help strengthen and tone the muscles in your lower back. When these muscles are in good shape, you can move more comfortably!

Increase lower body strength

Squats can improve flexibility in the lower body, especially the glutes. This can improve everything from your posture to your ability to perform in other exercises, allowing you to move better in your daily life.

Build a strong core

Squats are great for helping you build a strong core by stabilizing your abs and lower back. Squats work your core because they are forced to stabilize the bar away from the center of gravity.

Improve body awareness and coordination

Squats also help build stronger, denser bones and prevent osteoporosis. Most importantly, it strengthens the connective tissue and protects your knees, ankles and back from injury.

Build resilience in sports and daily life
