Switch It Up: 15 Squat Variations

Benefits of Half Squats

Half squats, despite not going all the way down, are not a shortcut to fitness. In fact, this exercise can target and activate specific muscle groups, such as the glutes and inner thighs, more effectively. Along with working your quads, hamstrings, and calves, half squats also engage your lower back and core muscles. Incorporating half squats into your training routine can improve your mobility and assist in overcoming strength plateaus.
