Your Best Friend Revealed: The Secret To Getting An Attractive, And Firm Butt And Thighs
Almost anyone is physically capable of doing them, they require no equipment and can be done in any old room, and the proper technique is easy and intuitive.
But most importantly, of course, they place a direct focus on building up the muscles in the gluts region.
Now, it's important to distinguish between muscle-building and fat loss in any exercise.
If you're worried about retaining too much fat below the waist, only good old cardio will get rid of it for you.
In that case it doesn't matter how many squats you do! This is part of what has led to the myth of squats being an impractical exercise, with too many users expecting squats to do something the exercise isn't intended for.
But if you're approaching from the goal of building muscle, you'll find the squat to be an easily-mastered and highly effective technique.
The foremost mistake amateurs make when first trying out the squat is in having bad posture.
After stretching, if your squats still put undue tension on the knees, then your knees are too far in front of the rest of your body.
This has absolutely no benefits and can seriously damage your knees over time, so be sure to correct your posture immediately.
The majority of the tension you feel should be centered on the thighs and gluts...
after all, that's what you're trying to work out, right? Those who have trouble with stand-alone squats may want to try a few minor derivations.
Squats using exercise balls or chairs are just as good as ones that don't use these tools, and the extra help can keep your posture perfect so that you don't strain yourself.
Doing a squat one leg at a time or doing a partial squat will require more reps for the best results, but can be easier on a fragile body.
Even using a wall as a guide can help significantly, if you're having any trouble.
Sure, there are plenty of other exercises to accomplish the same thing, but most of them are less intuitive or more troublesome in some way or another.
Many even require gym equipment that can be difficult to afford.
You owe it to yourself to at least try the easy, convenient route to a sexy butt and thighs.
If it doesn't work for you, you can always try a more challenging path instead.
