Would such a small number of squats be good for you?
In fact, everything is individual, and in training as well. Of course, 20 squats daily is not much, and the effect will depend on the physical characteristics of a particular person. For those who lead a sedentary lifestyle and do not exercise, the result will not be long in coming. But fitness lovers shouldn't expect noticeable changes.

Stanislav: The bottom line is that 20 squats a day will be useful until the body adapts to physical activity. The time that can be spent on this is several weeks.

Even if muscle mass does not increase, will blood flow increase or endurance increase?
It also depends on physical data, and also on nutrition. You can increase muscle mass a little, and endurance will most likely increase only in those who have not been involved in sports and squats - their first regular activity.

Stanislav: If a person is in good physical shape, then such a load - only 20 squats a day - will not give much effect.

When should you gain weight?
To progress in training, the trainer explains, the weight needs to be increased. But when? The indicator can be considered as how you perform a given number of repetitions. If the last rep is already at the limit, it's too early to add. If, with the current resistance, you perform reps with a reserve of strength, the weight can be increased.
