What Exactly Is An Air Squat Anyway?

What if a brief exercise of 60-90 seconds, made it less likely that this dessert would get stored as body fat? That is exactly one of the things Tim Ferriss explores in The 4-Hour Body.

He recommends Air Squats, Wall Presses, and Chest Pulls. I had to look up Air squats on line. Then I got to the chapter where he demonstrates the moves. So I’ve been doing 30 in a row, about an hour after I eat. I think this is right. I’ve been doing them while I wait for things. Water to boil, brushing my teeth, etc.

What air squats do is they essentially fix your lower body… the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and internal thighs. These babies are powerful! In light of the fact that the scope of movement is much more profound than with the run of the mill squat. It likewise fixes your core, particularly the lower abs, plus it raises your heart rate.

I haven’t been as consistent with the Wall Presses and I haven’t done any Chest Pulls yet.

I need to re-read this to make sure I’ve got the timing, and reps right.
