During an Air Squat, where should you look?

• A. Look straight ahead
• B. Look up at the ceiling
• C. Look down at the toes
• D. Look to the side

Answer: (A)

Gaze stability and neck position are essential for maintaining a neutral spine and balance during an air squat. Look straight ahead at a point roughly at eye level. This helps keep your neck in a neutral position, which supports a tall chest, stable torso, and proper knee tracking as you descend and ascend. Looking up can cause the neck to extend and tilt the upper spine, making it harder to keep the chest up. Looking down at the toes tends to drop the chest and promote rounding of the upper back. Looking to the side introduces unnecessary rotation and imbalance. So the best approach is to fix your gaze straight ahead.
