"Do Squats Build Abs? The Truth About Core Strength and Six-Pack Gains"

 1. What exactly do squats do?

Squats are one of the best compound exercises, meaning they work multiple muscle groups at once. Here's what they do for your body:

1. Strengthen Lower Body Muscles
<> Quadriceps (front of thighs)
<> Hamstrings (back of thighs)
<> Glutes (butt muscles)
<> Calves
2. Improve Core Strength & Stability
<> Squats engage the core muscles (abs and lower back) to help with balance and posture.
3. Enhance Joint Health & Mobility
<> Squats improve flexibility and strength in the hips, knees, and ankles, which can reduce injury risk.
4. Burn Calories & Boost Metabolism
<> Because they work multiple muscles, squats burn a lot of calories and can help with fat loss.
5. Improve Athletic Performance
<> Squats help with jumping, running, and overall explosiveness, making them great for athletes.
6. Strengthen the Back & Posture
<> When done with proper form, squats help support good posture and reduce lower back pain.
7. Can Boost Testosterone & Growth Hormone Production\
<> Heavy squats stimulate the release of these hormones, which help with muscle growth and recovery.
