How to do squats correctly and 4 mistakes to avoid | The Times of India

Squats is one of the most effective and popular leg exercises. Right from beginners to pro fitness enthusiasts, everyone can include this exercise in their routine for well-toned strong legs and butts. But you can only reap the benefits of this exercise if you do it correctly.

Compared to lunges, which is another popular leg workout, squats are safer and the risk of injury is low. The muscles targeted in this exercise include the gluteus, quadriceps, hamstrings (back of the thigh), adductor (groin), hip flexors and calves. Mastering squats is not a difficult task if you pay a little attention and one should start slow instead of rushing into the exercise.
