Touchdown Side-Squat

1. Start by standing straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Begin the movement by taking a lateral step to the side and simultaneously squatting down, reaching one hand towards the opposite foot. Your back should be straight, and hips pushed back to engage the glutes and hamstrings.

3. Ensure that your knees are in line with your toes and do not extend past your toes.

4. Push through the heels to return to the upright position while simultaneously raising both arms above your head.

5. Follow the same steps to alternate the movement to the other side.

6. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions or duration, maintaining a smooth and controlled tempo throughout the exercise.

This exercise is a compound movement that not only targets the lower body muscles but also promotes agility and coordination with the side-to-side motion. Remember to keep your core engaged and to avoid letting your knees cave in as you squat to avoid putting undue stress on the knee joints.
