How To Do Air Squats Correctly
Air Squats are a great compound bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.
To get started:
- With a shoulder width stance, begin the squat by first bending at the hips by descending back and down, until your hips drop below your knees, while keeping the natural arch in your back.
- The entire bottom of your foot, especially your heels, should remain in contact with the floor at all times with your knees in line with your toes.
- Now press your feet through the ground to rise back up, fully extending your knees and hips and contracting your glutes at the top of the air squat.
- Repeat.
