Exercise Profile

Bowling Squat Overview

The Bowling squat workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps.

It involves squatting down as if picking up a bowling ball, engaging the quads to power the movement.

While it also engages secondary muscles like the glutes and hamstrings, the focus remains on the quads.
