For many people their squat is their worst, or very close to worst, exercise. This is simply because many people do not have an optimal body structure to squat well, in addition to a general lack of training... Squats tend to be pretty low on people's priority of lifts to increase.

However, if you DO want to increase your squat, or improve your squat form, one of the best things I can recommend you do is to begin to do daily bodyweight squats.

In this article, I'd like to talk with you about what kind of benefits you'll receive from doing body weight squats regularly, like on a daily basis.

So, let's say that you start doing 25 or 50 body weight squats every single day, what kind of benefits would you start to see?

Well, probably the most important one, or at least the one that you care most about will be an increase in your regular squat. See, just like with any exercise, the more that you practice a lift, the better you'll be at it. Of course, the problem for this is that if you do too much then you risk burning out your central nervous system, which will actually inhibit and sometimes deteriorate any strength or growth gains you're looking for.

However, since bodyweight squats are so easy on your central nervous system you can do 50 a day and not have it affect your training in anyways, while still getting the benefits of training your body to squat well. The result? An increase in your squat.

Another benefit you will undoubtedly see is an increase in range of motion. Now, most people don't see this as a benefit really, but it is! The deeper you can squat, the more flexible you are, and if you have a nice long range of motion then you're much much less likely to be injured while lifting. Doing bodyweight squats, if you do them right, you'll be working towards deepening your range of motion.

A benefit that's tangent to the one I just listed is that you will increase hip flexibility. This is something that's huge to a lot of people, even if they don't know it. Many people today carry a lot of stress in their hips, just due to poor posture or spending a great deal of time sitting down. Having unbalanced hip flexibility can result in back problems, knee problems, hip problems, neck problems...and the list goes on.

The benefits of doing bodyweight squats are endless, and I really urge you to incorporate them into your training somehow, because I know that they'll really help you out.
