6 exercises every man should start doing in their 20s

Squats are the king of all exercises for good reason. They work multiple muscle groups—quads, hamstrings, glutes, and core—making them a full-body workout in one simple movement. Besides building muscle, squats improve flexibility and mobility, which can help protect the knees and lower back as people age. Squats also promote better balance, helping you perform daily activities with ease. To start, aim for three sets of 10-15 squats, gradually increasing weight to add more challenge.
