Why SQUATS?
Squats teach body awareness because it requires you to engage your glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves PLUS boosts your core strength and balance. Squats have other many practical applications to our daily lives, including getting up or down to a chair, bending over, riding your bike, gardening, or helping a friend move heavy boxes.
