Instructions

Setup

  • Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed outward at a 45-degree angle.

  • Lower yourself into a deep squat, keeping your chest lifted, spine neutral, and core engaged.

  • Place your hands on your thighs for balance or stability while maintaining the low position.

Movement

  • From the low position, shift your weight steadily toward your right side, increasing the bend in your right leg while stretching your left leg.

  • Pause briefly, then shift your weight toward your left side, bending the left leg more while stretching the right leg.

  • Ensure your heels remain planted on the floor throughout the entire movement.

  • Keep your glutes engaged and continue to alternate sides in a smooth, fluid motion without rising out of the squat position.
