Air squats warm up your lower body nicely

  • Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and arms at your side.
  • Slowly lower your glutes (buttocks) toward the ground as you lift your arms in front of you to shoulder level, aim to keep your knees in line with your feet.
  • As you squat, keep a neutral spine and lift your chest. It may help to focus on a spot in front of you.
  • Once your quadriceps (thighs) are level with the floor, reverse the motion and return to a starting position.
  • Repeat 10 to 15 times.
