Split Lateral Squat with Roll
A side lunge without the step: one foot rides a foam roller out sideways as the hips sit into the other leg.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, hands on the hips, one foot resting on a foam roller at the side.
Steps
- Sit into the standing hip as the roller rolls out.
- Keep the sliding leg straight.
- Pull the roller back in to stand.
Common mistakes
Pressing down through the roller: it only carries the foot; the bent leg works. Bent knee caving inward: it tracks the toes. Rolling out too far: stop where the chest stays up.
Breathing
Inhale sliding out, exhale pulling in.
