Squat Exercises with Side Leg Raise

Video Transcript

I'm going to demonstrate how to do a squat with a side leg raise. You can do these at home or in the gym. Hands are going to go on your hips, shoulders down the spine, chest open, feet are going shoulder width apart. When you squat, you want to track over second and third toe, don't let those knees cave in. We're squatting down, we're raising up. Angle your toes inward, just a little bit, heel needs to be in line with the glute, extend that leg out, drop back down. So you're just going one right after the nextr. Reps to fatigue, as many as you can on one side and then you're going to switch to the other side. So it's inhale, exhale on your motion. Your body weight's going to transfer to that leg that's on the floor. You're going to feel a lot of work into your hamstring and glute, as well as the leg that's going out. We're getting a lot of work in each side. Keep your abs strong, chest back, shoulders down, drop down, watch your knees, they don't want to go over your toes, sink back, lift up. Think about firing those motions really quick, heels touching the floor and then we're coming back up. Don't let your foot relax, you want to keep that load strong. Inhale to exhale. That is how we do our side squat with a lateral raise.
