Squat harder for a sexier curve

Many girls whom i come across in my daily life will be generously throwing comments that i am lucky to have a beautiful structure. However, only i know whatbdo ibhod inside my clothes. Well, yeah.. to be honeat i have an ideal weight and being an indian it is a wonder to have such a body which does not fall on heavy side. The genes of indian usually makes us look fuller and curvier. In contrast with me. However, when i do reality check in front of mirror, i am still not satisfied.  I know I have to hit the gym soon but due to heavy workload and financial crisis u have started up my own fitness routine.

I am concentrating only on my problematic area- the thigh, booty and flabby arms ( if i dont take care of them now i might end up having bat wings in the nearest future)

Coincidentally, right at the time I wanted to start up with my fitness routine, I came up with 30days squat challenge through someones post in instagram.

And of course I dont blindly start sqautting without doing any research... and I find out that squat is the best workout ever. Her you go the summarize version of a write up that I managed to find out from Google.

SQUAT- This is one exercise that should be a part of virtually everyone's routine, as it's relatively simple to perform, requires no equipment, and can be done just about anywhere.More importantly, although squats are often regarded as "leg" exercises, they actually offer benefits throughout your entire body, including deep within your core…

The Top 8 Benefits of Squats

Suffice it to say, a varied workout routine of appropriate intensity is one of the smartest health moves you can make, and adding squats to your routine is a must.What makes squats such a fantastic exercise?

1) -Builds Muscle in Your Entire BodySquats obviously help to build your leg muscles (including your quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves), but they also create an anabolic environment, which promotes body-wide muscle building.In fact, when done properly, squats are so intense that they trigger the release of testosterone and human growth hormone in your body, which are vital for muscle growth and will also help to improve muscle mass when you train other areas of your body aside from your legs.So squats can actually help you improve both your upper and lower body strength.

3)Functional Exercise Makes Real-Life Activities EasierFunctional exercises are those that help your body to perform real-life activities, as opposed to simply being able to operate pieces of gym equipment. Squats are one of the best functional exercises out there, as humans have been squatting since the hunter-gatherer days. When you perform squats, you build muscle and help your muscles work more efficiently, as well as promote mobility and balance. All of these benefits translate into your body moving more efficiently in the real world too.

4)Burn More FatOne of the most time-efficient ways to burn more calories is actually to gain more muscle! For every pound of additional muscle you gain, your body will burn an additional 50-70 calories per day. So, if you gain 10 pounds of muscle, you will automatically burn 500-700 more calories per day than you did before.

5) Maintain Mobility and BalanceStrong legs are crucial for staying mobile as you get older, and squats are phenomenal for increasing leg strength. They also work out your core, stabilizing muscles, which will help you to maintain balance, while also improving the communication between your brain and your muscle groups, which helps prevent falls – which is incidentally the #1 way to prevent bone fractures versus consuming mega-dose calcium supplements and bone drugs.Prevent InjuriesMost athletic injuries involve weak stabilizer muscles, ligaments and connective tissues, which squats help strengthen. They also help prevent injury by improving your flexibility (squats improve the range of motion in your ankles and hips) and balance, as noted above.

6)Boost Your Sports Performance -- Jump Higher and Run FasterWhether you're a weekend warrior or a mom who chases after a toddler, you'll be interested to know that studies have linked squatting strength with athletic ability.1Specifically, squatting helped athletes run faster and jump higher, which is why this exercise is part of virtually every professional athlete's training program.

7) Tone Your Backside, Abs and Entire Body- Few exercises work as many muscles as the squat, so it's an excellent multi-purpose activity useful for toning and tightening your behind, abs, and, of course, your legs. Furthermore, squats build your muscles, and these muscles participate in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, helping to protect you against obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

8) Help with Waste Removal-Squats improve the pumping of body fluids, aiding in removal of waste and delivery of nutrition to all tissues, including organs and glands. They're also useful for improved movement of feces through your colon and more regular bowel movements.

What's the Proper Way to Perform a Squat?

Squats have long been criticized for being destructive to your knees, but research shows that when done properly, squats actually improve knee stability and strengthen connective tissue. 


Stand with your feet just over shoulder width apartKeep your back in a neutral position, and keep your knees centered over your feetSlowly bend your knees, hips and ankles, lowering until you reach a 90-degree angleReturn to starting position -- repeat 15-20 times, for 2-3 sets for beginners (do this two or three times a week)Breathe in as you lower, breathe out as you return to starting position

Adding Squats to Your Comprehensive Fitness routine can actually be the best decision ever. No regrets.
