Question

If you could perform just one exercise to improve the muscular condition of your lower body, which should you choose to obtain the most benefit?

abdominal crunches

bicep curls

calf raises

squats

Answer 1

Squats and calf raises both tackle the lower body. Abdominal crunches and biceps are the mid and top section. Calf raises only tackle a certain part of your legs, whereas, squats cover a more broad range of muscle.

Answer 2

Additionally, squats are a compound lift - meaning they use multiple muscle groups, which creates significant response from your central nervous system.

Squats changed my life. I'm a fan.
