The wide air squat is an effective bodyweight exercise that targets the lower body, focusing on strength and mobility. Executing this squat with a wide stance accentuates the involvement of the hip adductors and glutes, contributing to improved stability and power.

How to do it

  1. Begin standing with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out.
  2. Engage core and keep chest up while lowering hips back and down.
  3. Descend until thighs are parallel to the ground, ensuring knees track over toes.
  4. Press through the heels to return to standing position.
  5. Repeat for desired repetitions, maintaining form throughout.
