What's up? It's Ben Greenfield and I am traveling right now. I'm in an airport as a matter

of fact, and I'll prove it. I'll give you a little 360. Now, the reason that I'm shooting

this video right now is because I want to show you something that I do when I'm traveling

to keep my muscles turned on. And this is also something that I'll do when I've been

sitting on my desk for a while when at home, when I'm pretty much anywhere where I've

just got my own body weight. And this is called an isometric squat. And don't be watching

because you think you know what an isometric squat is. I want to show you how to do one

of these properly. I'm leaning against the wall right now. And if you look down, I've

got my feet down there front of me. I'm going to shift my weight to my toes and then

I'm going to sit down. Now, in terms of my distance from the wall, what I'm looking for

is that my knees stay behind my toes, vertical shins. If my knees are going to front of

my toes, it's simple. I'm too close to the wall. Now, from here, what you want to do is

lock your hips. What I mean by that is don't allow your knees to internally rotate. That's

a weak position. Externally rotate. That's going to lock your hips. So you're sitting

at 90 degrees. Hips are externally rotated. That means that your knees are getting pushed

apart as you sit here. Now, the last thing is you want to breathe from deep in your belly

button. So I want you to think, and this is kind of a rough analogy. I want you to think

about that shfink there on your backside. And imagine pulling that up into your belly

button and then breathe from within your diaphragm. Try that out. You could experiment with nasal

breathing or breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. You should, as you

get better at this, be able to just do nasal breathing. So that's how to do a proper

isometric squat. I don't hold this for anywhere from two to five minutes and it will make
