While I was pregnant and preparing for labor, deep squats were a recommended exercise! Prior to being pregnant I didn’t regularly practice deep squats but I quickly discovered their benefits. Continuing performing deep squats postpartum has greatly benefited my overall health. Check out some benefits of deep squats below:
1. Strength: Engages multiple muscle groups for increased strength.
2. Flexibility: Improves hip and ankle flexibility. (Something most of us struggle with)
3. Posture: Strengthens core muscles for better posture. (Let’s be real we all need help here!)
4. Balance: Enhances balance and stability.
5. Injury Prevention: Strengthens joints and reduces injury risk.
If you begin incorporating deep squats gradually into your routine I think you will see amazing benefits over the next few months. The personal trainers at Live Fit would love to help you improve your deep squat form today!
