Lateral Tap in Position Squat

Accurate?

Tone your thighs & glutes with Lateral Tap in Position Squat! This exercise will challenge your balance and build lower body strength.

Instructions

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Lower yourself into a squat position with your thighs parallel to the floor. Ensure your weight is on your heels, and your knees do not extend past your toes.

3. Maintain this squat position throughout the exercise, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.

4. From the squat position, tap one foot out to the side as far as you can while maintaining balance and squat depth.

5. Bring the foot back to the starting position.

6. Repeat the tap with the other foot, alternating sides.

7. Continue alternating taps to each side for the desired number of reps or duration, keeping the motion controlled and steady.

Make sure to keep breathing evenly throughout the exercise and to keep your chest lifted. You can increase the intensity by tapping faster or adding resistance, such as a resistance band around the thighs.
