In this simple variation of the squat, Jason Shark (Mc)Guckian performs a squat hold. This exercise is easy and fun to do, especially when you're looking for a nice at home workout that doesn't involve equipment. The squat hold primarily focuses on the glutes, or your buttocks, and the hamstring. Your glutes help you with walking, running, and lifting heavy objects. Working out your glutes can also give you a nice, toned buttock. The hamstring is a muscle that works to do everyday tasks such as walking or lifting heavy objects.
When doing this, or any exercise, do not overexert yourself. Hold the squat only for as long as you feel comfortable, take a break if needed. Make sure that you're in a comfortable, uncluttered environment. Safety is the number one concern while exercising, don't strain yourself and be sure to stay hydrated.
