Bringing different types of squats into your workout isn't only a way to strengthen and tone your lower and upper body, it's also one of the best ways to increase the strength in your quads, hips, glutes, calves, and feet.
The squat covers many elements of daily movement as well, including sitting down on a chair, getting in and out of a car, and even going to the bathroom, so including this exercise in your strength training routine now is going to pay dividends in the years to come. "It's essential that women over 45 start incorporating squats into their workouts so we can carry on with everyday movements and maintain strength, mobility, and balance for as long as possible," says Anya Russell, a personal trainer.
