Many people who are working out should have heard this sentence. This is the so-called? No squats, no exercise? . Many people have heard this sentence, and many fitness people will believe it and often say it.

The reason why this sentence is widely circulated in our fitness field is because the training action of squat is really very important for our fitness training.

If a person who often trains in the gym does not do squats, but only does some upper limb muscle exercises, such as bench press or dumbbell bending, we can definitely say that such a person is either physically ill or unable to keep fit.

A person who really knows how to keep fit will definitely do squats if his body is not uncomfortable.

Because the training effect of squat is really good, it is very helpful to our fitness training effect and is also very beneficial to physical fitness.

Many people simply think that squatting is just a leg muscle training action, and simply think that squatting will only make their legs stronger and stronger.

It is a pity that some people give up the training action of squat because they are afraid of getting thicker legs. They don't know the benefits of squatting yet.

Next, Bian Xiao, I will briefly introduce the benefits and training effects of this sport to you.

First of all, we should know that although squat is very effective in strengthening our leg muscles, squat is not just a simple leg training action.

Squat is a compound training action, that is, it is a multi-joint exercise. When we do squats, many muscles of our body will participate in the action, not just the leg muscles.

For example, most of our hip muscles, waist muscles and even back muscles will participate in squats.

In other words, when we do squats, most muscles in the buttocks, waist and back will be well stimulated, thus achieving the effect of strengthening muscles.

Moreover, what we need to know is that squat is not just a simple muscle strengthening action. When you finish the squat, many changes will take place in your body.

For example, when we finish squatting, the hormone levels in our body will change, and the hormone levels beneficial to our health will be improved.

Among them, the hormone level of testosterone, a very important hormone, will be greatly improved after we finish squatting.

What we need to know is that the increase of testosterone level not only helps us to grow muscles, but also helps our health.
