What are the advantages of doing squats?
Squat exercise can not only exercise muscles, but also be good for joints. When squatting, the two largest joints of the human body, the knee joint and the hip joint, will be closed to the maximum extent, hardly bearing the weight of the body, while muscles in other parts can move, which can effectively prevent varicose veins of the lower limbs and leg cramps. Sedentary people are more prone to muscle strain and hyperosteogeny, while squatting can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so that muscles and bones can be fully nourished. In addition, many women, especially after giving birth, tend to relax the pelvic floor muscles, which can be effectively improved through squat training.

Although the squat movement is very simple, you must be careful, otherwise it will be counterproductive. "When squatting, it is best not to squat, that is to say, the angle of knee joint bending should not be less than 90 degrees, otherwise it is easy to get dizzy." Sun said: When practicing, there are mainly the following methods:

1, borrow something. Lean your back and waist against the wall, or hold the railing with your hands, which can break down your body weight and make squat training easy. The time can be gradually extended from 1 minute to 5 minutes.

2, squatting. Place your feet on the ground and lift your heels off the ground. Bend your knees, sink your torso, and press your thighs against your calves. Squats are difficult, so don't be too reluctant when you practice for the first time. The time should be controlled within 30 seconds to 1 minute.

3. squat down with it. Contrary to squatting, the back two-thirds of the sole touches the ground for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

4. Bow and arrow. The left foot is on the ground and the right foot is in a squat state. When squatting, the body weight falls on the right foot, and the foot is changed every 30 seconds or so to change the stress on both feet.

If you don't like sports or sedentary, act quickly! Take time to squat every day, and you will get unexpected exercise results. Need to be reminded that the elderly and patients with chronic diseases should not try. In addition, due to the change of posture when squatting, symptoms such as dizziness may occur. So don't move too hard, and the angle of knee joint bending can change gradually from big to small.
