Plie Hold Squat with Side Shift
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.
