Why You Should Squat

In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy discusses why the squat is often considered the "King of All Exercises." He talks about why this is more than just an exercise for your quads, glutes, and hamstrings by going over all of the other surprising muscles required to squat. He also discusses eccentric, concentric, and isometric contractions, the joints involved in squatting, and even how to breathe properly to help make your squats more safe and effective.
