Side Squats

Side squats are a lower-body exercise that targets the legs through lateral movement, helping to build strength, mobility, and balance. Performed by stepping out to the side and bending one knee while keeping the other leg extended, this exercise activates the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and inner thighs. It’s ideal for improving hip mobility, correcting muscle imbalances, and strengthening the lower body in multiple planes of motion.
