Save this to learn the difference between these squats! 🔥

Not all squats are the same—each variation targets different muscles and helps improve strength in unique ways. Here’s how to switch it up in your next workout:

1️⃣ Staggered Stance Squat – Great for balance and building unilateral strength by putting more emphasis on one leg at a time.
2️⃣ Narrow Squat – Targets your quads and core more intensely while improving knee stability.
3️⃣ Regular Squat – The classic! Engages your glutes, quads, and core for overall lower-body strength.
4️⃣ Sumo Squat – A wider stance shifts the focus to your glutes and inner thighs, helping with hip mobility and lower-body power.

💡 Modify for your level: Start with just bodyweight, or add dumbbells/kettlebells to increase the challenge!

Need guidance? Let’s find the right movements for you! Book a free consultation or join us online—link in bio!
