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