AIR SQUAT

This is an unloaded basic squat that uses your bodyweight as resistance. Stand with your feet roughly shoulder distance apart and with the toes facing forward or up to 15 degrees pointed outwards. Keep the core braced to maintain a neutral spine and squat down. As you move downwards be sure to keep the knees in line with the middle of your foot. Your knees may past your toes. Stand back up to complete a repetition.
