The Squat is the King of Lifts. If you’ve been skipping leg day… repent! If you’ve been doing leg day, but not squatting… repent! There are an incredible number of proven benefits to the squat: 

-Squatting increases strength in almost your entire body
-Squatting improves circulation 
-(If you do it right) squatting improves joint health 
-Squatting decreases Cellulite 
-Squatting improves flexibility 
-Squatting builds your core strength 
-Squatting helps you get better posture
-In men, squatting has been proven to increase the level of testosterone in your body

 And there’s a thousand other benefits. HOWEVER, squatting is also the number one way that people injured themselves! So BEFORE squatting, FIRST you need to understand exactly what muscles are the primary agonists in a squat. You can then build on that foundation by learning proper form, how much weight you should add, what the idea number of sets and reps are for your goals, etc.
