Kniebeuge ► air squat

Individual work

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees to approximately a right angle at the knee joints (buttocks approximately at knee height), arms supported on your hips or in front of you at chest height, hold the position (deep squat).

Attention:
Move your buttocks backwards, not your knees forwards. Keep your knees behind your toes. Keep your back straight at all times; a support for your heels makes the exercise easier.

Lighten:
Do not lower your buttocks too low (greater angle at the knees).

Harden:
Hold additional weight (on your shoulders, in front of you or with your arms hanging in your hands); unstable support.
