Three squat exercises build three different areas of the body. The front squat increases lower-body strength and flexibility in the ankles, hips and hamstrings. The lateral squat builds dynamic flexibility of inner thigh muscles and lateral strength in the hips and legs and the split squat develops leg strength, balance and flexibility in the hip flexors.
