This week on WKRP Montrose, Tegan Soderlind from CrossFit Alpen Glow takes a closer look at one of the simplest—and most useful—functional movements: the air squat.
It may not look complicated, but the air squat trains movement patterns we use every day, from getting out of a chair to picking things up and moving through life with greater strength and mobility.
Tegan explains why functional movements matter, how the air squat works multiple joints through a full range of motion, and why maintaining these basic movement patterns can become increasingly important as we get older.
Why the Air Squat Matters
The goal isn't necessarily to become an elite athlete. It's about building the strength, mobility, and confidence to handle everyday movements well.
In this quick episode, Tegan covers:
Why functional movements are important
How the air squat uses multiple joints and a full range of motion
How squatting connects to everyday activities
Why maintaining movement and mobility matters as we age
How simple exercises can support long-term health and independence
Sometimes the simplest movements can make the biggest difference.
