One of the biggest squat myths is that squats are bad for your knees. Not so, says celebrity trainer Phong Tran. Squats are not only for legs, they promote body-wide muscle building by catalyzing an anabolic environment. Squatting is also one of the best functional exercises out there, promoting mobility and balance.
They are also one of the most time-efficient ways to burn more fat and calories. Squats are often criticized for being destructive to your knees, but research shows that when done properly, they can actually improve knee stability and strengthen connective tissue.
This routine is about 40 minutes long and should be done no more than twice a week. Expect to burn approx. 200-250 calories.
