The squat works many muscles in the body in some form. The primary movers are the hamstrings, quads, and glutes. Assuming you are doing them correctly with your knees out and squatting below parallel, you should be using your hip adductors as well.

∙ 11y agoStraighten up your back and shoulders first of all, And than you unrack it and take a couple steps back keep your feet at shoulder width or slighty wider. Take a deep breath and go down like your about to sit down to make a 90 degree angle with your legs. (DO NOT LOOK UP, This can damage your neck just look straight while you go down). While you go down to a 90 degree angle explode back up.

∙ 14y agoSquats are one of the best, if not the best, exercises you can do. This is because they work so many muscles, while forcing you to stabilize and balance your body under a heavy load. The primary muscles involved are the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and adductors.

Hamstrings, Quads, Calves.
quads (narrow squats) & gluteals & hamstrings (wide-positioned squats)
You probably haven't been using those muscles that you don't use a hole lot of. You just need to keep doing your squats to build up those muscles so then after you do your squats... they won't hurt. Trust me... my arm is really sore from softball pitching... it's just because i haven't been using those muscles for awhile and i need to strengthen those muscles :D
Yes, Because you are squatting
Squats and poly-metrics.
Squats and deadlifts will work your gluteal muscles (as well as many other muscles).
swimming... i think :)
Squats primarily target the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. They also engage the core muscles for stability and support during the movement. Additionally, squats can work the calves, lower back, and hip muscles to a lesser extent.
If they want to build up their muscles, yes.

They strengthen leg and back muscles if done properly.
