Squats target the muscles in the lower body, but for the exercise, you also need to use muscles above your waist, mentions Healthline. The lower muscles include glutes, hamstrings, adductors, hip flexors, and calves. This workout strengthens the core, boosts athletic ability, and also burns calories.

Other celebrities, from Ishaan Khatter to Disha Patani have shown in the past how to do squats with weights. What Virat is seen doing in the picture is known as goblet squat that involves carrying a burden close to the chest. This burden can be a dumbbell, weights, a pancake from the rod or even a plastic bottle with water or wet sand, according to strength-life.com.
