What muscles are squats good for?
whenever I do squats my knees feel really weak and they click. I make sure I have proper form so am wondering if I should just stop doing them?

Maybe you should warm up first and start with an easy level then upgrade it as you feel it. Squats and crunches help me to have a flat belly and it really works for me. I use to do it every other day and my DH helps me to do it.

Squats work pretty much everything. If you have knee pain I would stop doing squats because if your form is even slightly incorrect you are going to cause yourself a lot of damage (depending on how much you are lifting).
Chest out? Chin up? Back slightly arched? Feet at 45degrees?
