How many ways can you do squats? Turns out, more than you may think. Basic squats are excellent for the butt, hips, thighs and calves but they can get a little boring over time, especially if you need to add a little intensity. This photo gallery shows just how many variations are available from the easiest (chair or assisted squats) to the hardest (one-legged squats). When creating a lower body workout, try new kinds of squats on a regular basis to challenge both your mind and your body.
