2. Engage your core and squat down, pushing your hips back as though you are going to sit in a chair, keeping your chest upright and back straight. This is the sumo squat position.
3. Push through your heels to rise back up to the standing position.
4. Shift your weight to your right leg as you simultaneously lift your left leg and extend it to the side. Bend the right knee into a side lunge, keeping the left leg straight.
5. Push off from your right foot, returning to the sumo squat position.
6. Perform a sumo squat again then repeat the side lunge on the opposite side.
7. Continue alternating the sumo squat with side lunges on both sides for the desired number of repetitions.
Ensure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury. Adjust the width of your stance and depth of your squat to make the exercise more or less challenging according to your fitness level.
