How do you perform an Air Squat?

  • Place your feet about shoulder-width apart, with your toes pointing slightly outward.
  • Stand up straight, tighten your abs and glutes, and look straight ahead.
  • Bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
  • Pretend to sit in an imaginary chair.
  • Keep your back as vertical as possible.
  • Stretch your arms out in front of you. The higher the arms, the more vertical your torso will be.
  • Push down on your heels to return to the starting position and tighten your glutes.

Common faults

  • Losing the flat or hollow back.
  • Weight too much forward so that you end up on your toes.
  • Hip doesn’t go low enough.
  • Knees bend inward.
  • Look at the ground
