When you do squat exercises you are toning and strengthening the muscles of the thighs, calves and buttocks. These muscles are the gluteals (maximum, minimus and medius), the quadriceps ( rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius), the hamstrings (semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris) and the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soles). The gluteal muscles receive the most benefit.
