The Power of Squats: What Happens When You Do Squats Every Day?

August 23, 20242 min read

Squats are like the kale of the fitness world: everyone talks about them, everyone swears by them, but not everyone knows why they’re so darn good for you. If you’re serious about fitness, you’ve probably heard the phrase, “Friends don’t let friends skip leg day.” And what’s the king of leg day? That’s right—squats. Let’s break down what happens when you start squatting every day. Spoiler alert: Your glutes will thank you!

Benefits of Squats:

  1. Builds Powerful Legs:
    Squats target your quads, hamstrings, and glutes, turning those chicken legs into powerhouses. Imagine the strength you’ll gain! Whether you’re lifting groceries or lifting your kids, squats will have you doing it with ease—and maybe even style.

  2. Boosts Metabolism:
    Think of squats as your personal furnace. By engaging multiple muscle groups, you’ll be burning calories long after you’ve finished your set. That’s right, while you’re binge-watching your favorite shows, your metabolism is hard at work!

  3. Improves Posture:
    Are you hunched over your desk right now? Squats help strengthen your core and lower back, making you stand taller and prouder. And hey, good posture not only looks confident, but it also reduces back pain. Double win!

  4. Enhances Flexibility and Mobility:
    Tired of feeling stiff after a workout? Squats help improve the flexibility of your hips, knees, and ankles. Daily squatting can make you feel like a well-oiled machine—no more groaning when you stand up from your chair!

  5. Strengthens Mental Toughness:
    Okay, we get it. Squats are tough. But pushing through that last rep not only builds physical strength but also mental resilience. If you can survive a set of squats, you can survive anything (even Monday meetings).
