5 Killer Bodyweight Workouts For Mass

#4 Squats

The squat is a total-body exercise that targets a slew of muscles in both the upper and the lower body. The primary muscle groups include glutes, quads and the hamstrings present in the legs.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet positioned at a distance greater than the width of the shoulders. Place your hands on the side, parallel to the body or place them in front of the chest in a fully extended position.

Step 2: With a stationary torso, slowly lower yourself by bending your knees until the thighs are parallel to the floor.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: People with back problems must exercise caution while performing the squats.
