What are the benefits of squatting?

There are many ways to exercise, among which squatting is a common sport. It is very simple and convenient. You can do squatting exercises at home. As long as you persist, your body will be well improved. But after all, everyone's physical condition is different. You must improve your body according to the effects of each exercise. Let's take a look at the benefits of squatting.

What are the benefits of squatting?

Modern people always think that as they age, they become fat and bloated, their movements become slow, and it is quite difficult to do things in a squatting position or sit upright all the time in life. This is also the inevitable result that the body cannot do it as they age. But in fact, this is a wrong concept. The human body cannot maintain the natural movements that are innate in childhood as it ages. This is the main reason why modern people age prematurely and suffer from many diseases!

Health medicine experts have long studied squatting and found that squatting is a good way to keep fit. The benefits are as follows:

1. When people squat, the blood flow to the heart and lungs is relatively sufficient, thus reducing the incidence of coronary heart disease, emphysema and hypertension.

2. When you squat, the diaphragm rises, and when you stand up, the diaphragm will drop again. This up and down movement causes the range of motion of the chest cavity and lung cavity to expand, and lung capacity naturally increases.

3. Squatting is a very effective way to lose weight. Squatting can maximize the compression between the abdomen, legs and buttocks, which can reduce the accumulation of fat, thereby consuming calories and leaving no place for abdominal fat to grow.

4. Encourage everyone to swing their hands parallely back and forth, and squat every four times. This is a good arm-shaking exercise.

Squat fitness method in daily life

The following two squat fitness methods can enhance the support and balance of the lower limbs.

1. One-legged Stand

Place one leg on the ground, either standing still or moving it back and forth, like a child jumping and hopping while walking. Or you can support yourself with a fixed pillar or chair, stand on one leg, lift one leg off the ground, and practice in various postures for 5 or 10 minutes; then change to the other foot and continue the same movement to allow each lower limb to get balanced exercise.

2. Double knee squat fitness method

Spread your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward, eyes looking straight ahead, knees bent and half squatting, with hips as close to the ground as possible, and clasped your hands together in the knee-hugging pose, or use your hands in the shoulder-stroking pose, with elbows bent and upper arms crossed in front of your chest, with your left palm touching your right shoulder and your right palm touching your left shoulder; or use your hands in the neck-hugging pose, with the tips of your elbows on your knees.

After understanding the benefits of squatting, we can choose the exercise method that suits us according to our physical condition. In addition, if we want to lose weight better in our daily life, we must pay attention to our diet and not overeat or take diet pills blindly. We must persist for a long time to achieve better results.
