How To Do Side Squats With Proper Form

Side squats are an exercise that strengthens the legs, glutes, and outer thighs for strong, sculpted legs and a fit, toned lower body. Side squats are like the forgotten cousin of all squats. Often overlooked for the more traditional basic squat or other versions, if you learn how to do side squats you are learning to add lateral movement and extra strength to your outer and inner thighs.
No matter which squat version you choose, you can count on squats to help build a much tighter and lifted butt. So check out these side squats and try to fit them into your workout once or twice a week.
Here are the steps to performing side squats:
1) Start standing with feet hip-distance apart and sit back into a squat position by bending the knees.
2) Keep your abs tight and back straight. Step wide to one side staying in your squat position, go back to your starting position, and then side squat wide in the other direction using all your lower body muscles then back to center. Continue squatting side to side staying low throughout.
