Here’s why you should try doing squats with weights too
Squats are one of the most effective ways of gaining muscle in the lower body and when clubbed with weights, the results can be really impressive. Squatting with heavy weights can train your central nervous system to brace your core and protect your lower back. 

They also help in strengthening your core but are also great for building your hamstrings, glutes and calves muscles. If you squat with heavyweights, you can visibly notice more lean muscles on your legs and less cellulite and fat. Moreover, it also increases your metabolism and helps you manage your hormones better.

Apart from that, weighted squats also improve your balance and bone health. And therefore you must try including this exercise in your workout routine. 

A word of caution for beginners
If you are a beginner and have never lifted weights before, you should start with very light weights and then make the progression. Increase your daily reps and then your weights. Remember that you don’t want to injure yourself, so do not force anything on your body. For more assistance, talk to your gym trainer, take proper guidance, and only then begin your journey with weights.

Keep an idea of your risk of weight-related issues.
