Instructions

1. Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward or slightly outwards.

2. Lower into a squat position by bending at the hips and knees, keeping your back straight and chest up. Your thighs should be parallel or almost parallel to the ground.

3. While maintaining the squat position, take a step to the side with your right foot, followed by your left foot, moving laterally.

4. Continue to step side to side for a certain number of steps or distance, keeping the squat position the whole time.

5. Make sure to keep your weight on your heels and your knees in line with your toes during the movement.

6. After completing steps to one side, reverse direction and move laterally to the other side to complete one set.

7. Perform the desired number of sets, resting in between if necessary.

Remember to keep the core engaged and the hips back during the entire exercise. This exercise is a great way to target the lower body, particularly the muscles along the sides of your hips and thighs.
