Description

Stand with your feet wide apart. Bend one leg to squat sideways, while the other leg remains straight out to the side. Keep the foot of your supporting leg flat on the floor and your back straight throughout the movement. Then return to the starting position and repeat the exercise on the other side, alternating legs and ensuring you maintain good control and a stable posture with each repetition.
