If there's one thing I dislike, SQUATS. They hurt like hell, make your legs feel like jelly and makes your thighs feel like they're about to explode. But they're so damn great for you - especially if you want sexy, killer legs and butt. But this doesn't apply to just the ladies. Boys, you have a lot of benefits from doing squats too. The top 5 reasons why both genders should start working on your squats.



TOP 5 REASONS WHY MEN SHOULD DO SQUATS

1# Squats are the "King of all mass builders" and they make you as strong as steel. Because let's face it, being small & weak just isn't very manly. We ladies dig strong men because we like being carried away by one.

2# They jack-up your testosterone levels. Don't believe me? Check out Doug Young, the 70s Big logo man with a bad ass beard. Beards like that don't come from estrogen, I can tell you that.

3# Squats translate into every sport. Yes, EVERY SINGLE SPORT. Back, legs, hips; all of that will make you a better sportsman in whatever sport you're competing in.

4# If you don't squat, you'll turn into that sparkly kid from Twilight. Fact. (Noticed that I used the reference 'kid')

5# People will like you more.
    Person A: Hey, do you know Johnny?
    Person B: That large muscular fellow from the gym? Why yes I do, he's a charming gentleman. 





TOP 5 REASONS WHY WOMEN SHOULD DO SQUATS

1# ASS. Simple as that. Squats will make every female ass look awesome. Your ass is a muscle, getting rid of it will not make it look better, it'll look like a pancake. See example. Just remember, don't squat your ass off, squat your ass on.

2# It prevents 'skinny fat'. Even skinny people (especially the ones who don't work out, and don't do squats) will harbor some extra flab that looks untoned and loose. Squats are great for elevating your fat-burning hormones.

3# It's VERY empowering. Truth is, a lot of women are intimidated by heavy lifting. But a month of squats will turn you into superwoman. Literally.

4# It repels gym creepers. We've all had those nasty dudes who likes to undress us with his eyes, especially when we're running on the treadmill or on the elliptical. He's gonna shit his pants when he sees you squatting weights.

5# People will like you more.
    Guy 1: Hey, do you know who's Jillian? She's the girl over there, squatting.
    Guy 2: I love her.
    Guy 3: I love her.
    Guy 4: I love her.
    Guy 5: I love her.
    Guy 6: I love her.

    You get the point. ;)
