Squats with a high number of repetitions help train strength, endurance and stability in just one performance. The exercise affects most muscle groups in the lower body.
Squats not only help build muscle but also train the nervous system to react faster and control better. The exercise also helps increase blood circulation and bone density, helping to strengthen bones. This helps prevent falls, slows down muscle loss, and improves overall confidence in movement.
Start with 3 squats, each 10 - 15 times, exercising many times a week with gentle, controlled movements. When used, increase the number of times or shorten the break. Incorporate leg shorts and bridge poses to strengthen the support muscles and keep your knees healthy.
When strength improves, stop for 2-3 seconds at the lowest position while squat to increase the challenge. Recording your workout routine will help you feel more motivated when your endurance improves rapidly.
Performing 40-50 squats continuously is above average for people over 45 years old. If you reach 60 times or more, you are in a group with strength, legs are strong enough to support mobility.
