If you think of working out like building a house, then squats would be like pouring the foundation.
Squats are an essential move to help strengthen your lower body, and they help fortify the base for all the rest of your movements. Squats are a crucial move not only because they work so many different muscles, but also because the muscles they build work to balance your body when you are doing other exercises, thus benefiting your exercise routine for the rest of your body.
Thus if you are going running, why not do 20 squats first?
If you are starting a weight lifting workout, why not do 20 squats first?
Yoga? 20 squats first.
Some people swear by stretching before a workout, some people are against stretching because the stretching can sometimes cause sports injuries because people overdo the stretching. But 20 squats is not a huge number and they will certainly help to build the muscle groups that you will be using often.
They also cost zero equipment. So squats rank high on the frugal exercises.
There are also many kinds of squats. You are not limited to one kind. Just pick your favourite and add it to the start of your workout.
Example: Barbell Squats
