The strengthening comes from doing repetitions. However, if you’re new to deep squatting but already do normal squats, you might start by doing one deep squat at the end of that routine and see how that feels, she adds. Then, you can increase repetitions from there. * Back pain relief: The hips and back share many of the same muscles, so tight hips can lead to lower back pain. Deep squats require mobility in the hips and loosen the hip muscles, reducing the risk of back pain. Deep squats can also help you lift things using your leg muscles rather than bending and lifting with the back muscles. It’s important to know that “lifting with your back” is not bad or wrong (contrary to popular belief). But squatting to lift something may be more efficient and comfortable for people with a history of back pain. * Increased ankle mobility: Your ankles have to bend and shift during a deep squat to keep you balanced and make sure you don’t topple backward. That’s why you want to challenge your range of motion as much as possible. You want to own every inch of your range of motion, and do repetitions slowly and methodically! * Increased flexibility: The deep squat asks your knees, as well as your hips and ankles, to move further than in a normal squat. This requires the soft tissues like muscles and ligaments to stretch improving your flexibility. * Increased bone density: Any weight-bearing exercise, like deep squats, can help build bone. If you can comfortably deep squat, you can boost this benefit by adding resistance. Try holding weights, or a heavy jug of milk or water while you squat. You could also wear a weighted vest or a backpack with some books in it. * Use of your joints’ full range of motion: When you strength train using your body’s full range of motion, your joints gain strength at every angle while maintaining your flexibility. This makes joints more resilient to injury.”
