Squats are one of the key body weight exercises to incorporate into your training and you’ll see them in most at home workouts. This simple exercise will build your quads, hamstrings and calves, perfect for when you’re out on course helping other Mudders over obstacles. If you’re getting bored of standard squats there are plenty of variations including one of our favourites: the lateral split squat.
