Knowing how to do a squat correctly is essential when it comes to strength training. While this move may look basic, everyone's form is slightly different and finding the position that works for you can be a bit of an experiment.
The basic squat features in many strength training programmes for women. Done with body weight, resistance bands, kettlebells, or dumbbells, or a barbell, this exercise works key muscles in the lower body, upper body, and core, while strengthening smaller muscles around them. It's such a brilliant exercise (when done correctly) because it helps improve overall strength, mobility, and muscular endurance, and maintains bone density, which is particularly important for anyone approaching menopause.
