SET UP FOR THE AIR SQUAT
Set heels just outside of your hips and have your toes pointing out slightly
Start with hips and knees at full extension POINTS OF PERFORMANCE FOR THE AIR SQUAT
Send the hips back and down descending to the bottom of your squat with the crease of the hip below the knees.
Keep the knees tracking out over the toes
Maintain balance of weight in the heels
Keep the arch in the lower back by lifting the chest for a good lumbar curve in the spine
When hip crease breaks the plane of the knees in depth, drive through the heels to ascend back to your starting position
The rep is completed when the knees and hips are fully locked out and open

You can reach any goals you set for yourself, even if it requires some help along the way I understand what it is like to want to achieve personal targets, to want to improve yourself physically and mentally, and I can help you to get to your final goal, with advice and guidance
My fitness journey started when I moved to Aberdeen to study sport science at RGU After joining BOD two years ago, I discovered my love for fitness by going to class such as spin and getting more involved with weight training Since then, I’ve completed my degree and earned a level 2 gym instructor qualification I’m all about helping others smash their fitness goals while also working on my own progress both in and out of the gym I'm excited to keep learning, earn more fitness qualifications, and start teaching classes to spread my enthusiasm and passion!
Motto: push yourself, because self-motivation and taking charge of your goals is where you’ll find the most success
