#4 Air Squat

This full body compound exercise targets the hips, glutes, quads, thighs and the hamstrings while also working on the abdominal muscles.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with feet positioned slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Fully extend your arms forward while keeping the elbows close to the body until they are perpendicular to the body.

Step 2: Lower yourself by bending your knees until the hips are below the knees. Keep your arms stationary while performing this motion.

Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Always move your knees outwards while squatting to avoid injury as it reduces the risk of knee twisting and lower back rounding.

Next up: Alternate Lunge
