The squat is one of the basic exercises and should be performed by everyone who trains. However, most people lack the flexibility for this exercise. The TRX squat is the perfect way to prepare for the squat and improve strength, technique and flexibility. It mainly trains the buttocks and the front of the thighs, but also works the remaining muscles of the legs for stabilization. The core muscles are also stressed. This exercise can effectively increase the strength and mass of the leg muscles. By working so many muscles at the same time, the cardiovascular system is also boosted.
