Perfect Air Squat Technique

The air squat is the foundational bodyweight movement that builds lower body strength, mobility, and movement quality. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every rep develops proper squatting mechanics for all functional movements.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Setup: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out
  2. Initiate: Send hips back and down while keeping chest up and knees tracking over toes
  3. Descend: Lower until hip crease is below knee cap, maintaining neutral spine
  4. Drive Up: Push through heels and drive hips forward to return to standing
  5. Complete: Fully extend hips and knees at the top position

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Knees caving inward during movement
  • Forward lean and chest dropping
  • Not achieving full depth below parallel
  • Weight shifting onto toes instead of heels
  • Rounding the lower back at bottom position
