Air Squat This classic lower-body exercise works the glutes, especially if you focus on pushing through your heels. Begin with your feet slightly wider than hip's width apart and toes pointed slightly outward. Bring your hands together in front of your chest. Keeping weight in your heels, sit back into a deep squat. Make sure your knees do not go beyond your toes or roll in or out of alignment. Keep your abs engaged as you squat. Deepen your abdominal engagement as you press through your heels to return to standing, completing one rep. Do 15 reps per set. Image Sources: POPSUGAR Studios and Getty / svetikd
