Instructions

Setup Overview: Split Lateral Squat With Roll.

Start: Stand upright with a foam roller placed laterally beside one foot.
Position Foot: Step the foot closest to the foam roller out to the side, placing it on top of the roller.
Shift Weight: Shift your weight onto the leg that is on the foam roller while bending at the knee, pushing your hips back, and keeping the other leg straight.
Lower into Squat: Lower yourself into a squat position on the one side, going as deep as your flexibility allows without compromising form. The straight leg will stretch, particularly in the adductors.
Isometric Hold: If incorporating an isometric hold, remain in the squat position for a predetermined amount of time, ensuring tension in the leg muscles throughout.
Rise Up: Push through the foot on the foam roller, engaging your quadriceps and glutes to rise back up to the starting position.
Repeat: Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.

Note: It is important to maintain a straight back and avoid letting your knees collapse inward during the exercise. Additionally, adjust the depth of the squat according to your own flexibility and strength.
