Dumbbell squats are a great exercise to add to your routine if you want to engage all of the muscles below your waist. This exercise is great for developing your glutes, quads, hamstrings and calves, plus a lot of smaller stabilizing muscles. You can also perform squats without a dumbbell, if you prefer. If you find that squatting is too hard on your knees, you can learn to fix your form to reduce joint pain. How many calories you burn doing dumbbell squats depends on your speed, weight and gender.
