Heels Elevated Air Squat

How to Perform Heels Elevated Air Squat

1. 1
   Place your heels on the elevated surface. Your feet should be in your standard squat position - between hip and shoulder-width apart with toes slightly turned out.
2. 2
   From here, follow all the points of performance for the air squat. Be sure to perform the movement with control. Because there's an increased range of motion from the elevation, take a mental note of how much deeper you can go in this type of squat.
3. 3
   You should feel a little more stimulation in your quadriceps than your traditional air squat. Push through your foot and stand to full extension to complete the rep.
4. 4
   As always, you can add tempo to this movement to make it spicier. An example would be 3-second descent, 3-second pause in the bottom, and 3-second ascent.
5. 5
   You could also add weight this movement by holding a dumbbell or kettlebell at your chest.
