Squats are good for the legs, especially glutes and quadriceps. There are a lot of ways to do a squat. For my ten minute workout we are just doing a non-fancy squat. The original design of this exercise in the workout is to do it on a BOSU. The rounded side of the BOSU is on the ground and you stand on the flat side. Adding the BOSU in the mix allows for more work to be required of the full leg and ankles. It is great balance practice. A squat is a lowering of the entire body as if you are going to sit down. Only lower down to about sitting-in-chair height. Butt “reaching” back for the “chair”. Then come back up to standing. For these squats have your feet from hip-joint-width to shoulder width apart.
I feel it is important for one to be able to sit and stand without having use your arms to support yourself. Squats are one way to ensure you can move up and down without help.
