Why Squats Matter — and How MOVAO’s Washable Resistance Bands Make Them Easier Than Ever

Squats are one of the most powerful, functional exercises you can do — and they’re not just for athletes or gym-goers. Whether you’re recovering from an illness, trying to regain strength after a hospital stay, or just staying active as you age, squats play a vital role in restoring independence and quality of life.

But not everyone can jump into bodyweight or weighted squats right away. That’s where MOVAO’s washable resistance bands come in — making this essential movement safer, more supportive, and accessible to all ability levels.


Why Squats Are So Important

Squats are often called the “king” of exercises — and for good reason. They engage the entire lower body and core, helping to:

  • Build leg strength (quads, hamstrings, glutes)

  • Improve balance and stability

  • Support mobility and joint function

  • Enhance circulation and cardiovascular health

  • Protect against falls and injuries

  • Make daily activities easier (like standing from a chair or using the toilet)

For patients recovering from surgery, illness, or deconditioning, squats are often the gateway to walking again — and MOVAO is here to help make that transition smoother.
