squat is a free weights and total body exercise that primarily targets the quads and to a lesser degree also targets the calves, glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors and lower back.
The only squat equipment that you really need is the following: barbell and squat rack. There are however many different squat variations that you can try out that may require different types of squat equipment or may even require no equipment at all.
Learning proper squat form is easy with the step by step squat instructions, squat tips, and the instructional squat technique video on this page. squat is a exercise for those with a beginner level of physical fitness and exercise experience. Watch the squat video, learn how to do the squat, and then be sure and browse through the squat workouts on our workout plans page!
The squat is pretty much the best strength training exercise around but I cringed when I saw the 7 step description. You can't simplify it that much. If you are going to squat and don't know much about it, do a lot of reading and video watching until you fully understand the movement and can execute it properly without any weights before you put a bar on your back.
You just can't beat squats. It really should be included in almost any workout plan. I used to really hate doing squats but now I can honestly say that I have grown to love the pain :)
