Instructions

Setup

Start standing upright with your feet hip-width apart and your core engaged.

Movement

  1. Step Out: Step one foot out to the side into a wider stance than shoulder-width.

  2. Squat: Descend into a squat, keeping your chest up, weight in your heels, and knees tracking over your toes.

  3. Step In: Drive through your heels to return to your starting narrow stance.

  4. Repeat: Continue performing the movement, stepping out, squatting, and returning to center.

Form Tips

  • Keep your back straight throughout the movement.

  • Ensure your depth is controlled, aiming to get your thighs parallel to the ground if your mobility allows.

  • Maintain tension in your core to stabilize your trunk.
