Will doing squats make your legs thicker?

Nowadays, people are more and more concerned about their body shape and appearance, especially some girls who would think of practicing yoga and some weight loss exercises. But it doesn't mean that every exercise will make your body better. Some exercises may have other negative effects. So some people ask, will squatting make the legs thicker? In this case, it is better to understand it before doing exercise to prevent counterproductive effects.

Doing squats will only tighten your leg muscles. The intensity of squats without weights cannot stimulate the growth of thigh muscles. Only squats with weights can grow thigh muscles. It is best to do ligament stretching after squatting, which will help improve the leg lines and make them smoother.
