squats

Squats are a fundamental movement pattern that involves bending the knees and hips to lower the body into a squatting position and then standing back up. This exercise targets multiple muscle groups, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core, making it an effective full-body workout. Additionally, squats can be performed with various equipment such as a barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells, or only bodyweight. Squats can also be modified and can be performed at different depths, ranging from a partial squat to a full deep squat, depending upon the fitness level and flexibility of an individual.
