100 Squats a Day Benefit

One of leg exercise that is very popular, and is simple to do by anyone, and anywhere is a SQUAT exercise. Yes, this squat is part of the exercise that trains the lower body (the area of the leg muscles).

Squat training is basically very good for exercising the leg muscles, especially in the thigh muscles. That is why in sports, every athlete must do squats, because in every sports competition, every athlete needs strong legs, especially for footwork and endurance.


It's just that squats have lots of variations of its kind. There are squats that are done without weight (free weight). There are squats done with barbells or dumbbells.

Squat workout

Squats are carried out with additional weight means (barbell or dumbbell) and carried out as much as 8-12 reps, usually aimed at strength training (strengh). Whereas if you choose to do squats with light weights / no weights (free weight), then the focus of the exercise is to train endurance (endurance). This actually applies to all exercises, not just squats.

So in compiling an exercise program, make no mistake. One of the endurance exercises for strengthening legs is a squat exercise 100 times a day. Never tried?

Squat exercises 100 times a day aim to strengthen stamina, endurance, strengthen legs. This is very useful especially if you like running (5k, 10k, half marathon or full marathon).

Running race event 5k

Ahead of preparation for the 5k or 10k race, I routinely did 100 times squat exercises (with the addition of a 10 kg dumbbell). This time I do 100 squat exercises 5 days a week (2 days rest). What are the positive effects? I feel much stronger when I run, so I can finish the race event because of the correct training sequence.

Squats that are often done will strengthen the thigh muscles. Whereas in running, strength of thigh muscles is needed. Especially if you undergo 5k or 10k running exercises, if you are not familiar, then your thigh muscles will definitely feel very painful during and after running.

Therefore, squats are one way to increase your running strength. So, if you like long distance running, try to include a squat exercise menu as a training menu to increase endurance, because when you run medium (5k) or long distance, endurance is really needed. Of course, to improve ednurance, this squat is much better if done in large reps with light weights.

If you want to get better leg strength endurance results, do squats 100 times regularly. When you get used to it, you will get and feel much better results.
