Exercise Directory: Side Squats [One Side at a Time]

The Side Squat is a more complicated lower body exercise.

STEP #1: Start by standing with your feet together.

STEP #2: Step your left foot out so that it is about shoulder-width apart.

STEP #3: Squat by bending your knees and sitting back into the squat. Concentrate on pushing your bottom back and down ... as if you are sitting down in a chair.

STEP 4: Stand back up straight. As you do, bring your left foot back to the center next to your right foot.

STEP $5: Immediately after your left foot is positioned back to the center, step it back out to the left side so that it is about shoulder width apart again.

STEP #6: Squat by bending your knees and sitting back into the squat. Once again, concentrate on pushing your bottom back and down ... as if you are sitting down in a chair.

STEP 7: Stand back up straight. 

​STEP #8: Continue stepping off to the left side for approximately 20-30 squats or until your lower body fatigues.

STEP #9: Repeat the same amount of repetitions on the right side as you performed on the left side.

STEP #10: Rest.

STEP #11: Repeat.
​NOTE: Keep your chest facing forward as you squat back.

NOTE: Concentrate on pushing the majority of your weight through your heels ... making sure you don't lift your heels off of the floor.
