Side squat

Technique

Stand feet together, lift one foot and step sidewise. Lower directly into squat position. Press back up to centre using glutes and repeat using other foot.

Tips

Imagine stepping sidewise with a stomp, lower slowly in control and then press back up explosively.

Alternatives

Aim at 90 degrees but start at 45 the first workouts. To make the exercise more challenging, get up on your toes in centre between each side squat.
