Alternate Heel Touch Side Kick Squat
From standing, slide one leg straight out to the side and squat deep on the other, reaching a hand to the bent leg's heel; stand and switch sides.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet together, arms at the sides.
Steps
- Slide one leg out to the side and sit deep into the other.
- Reach down and touch the heel of the bent leg, chest up.
- Push back up to standing and repeat on the other side.
Common mistakes
Heel of the working leg rising: shift the hips back over it. Rounding the back to reach the heel: go as deep as the chest stays up. Straight leg's foot rolling onto its edge: keep it flat.
Breathing
Inhale sitting into the hip, exhale shifting across.
