Warmup, Exercise 5: Alternating Lateral Squat

  • Stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart and your arms by your sides. Pull your core in toward your spine and brace it, keeping it engaged throughout the movement.
  • Bend at your right hip and knee to lower into a lateral squat, ensuring your right knees remains in line with your toes. Keep your left leg straight and both feet flat on the floor. As you squat, bend your arms to lift your hands to your chest and continue looking straight ahead, keeping your core tight and chest lifted.
  • Drive through your right heel to straighten your right leg and return to the starting position.
  • Repeat on the other side.
  • This counts as one rep. Continue alternating sides for 30 seconds while maintaining proper form.
