What It Is
A big step out to the side that builds leg strength. It keeps your hips moving well side to side, which most workouts skip.
How to Do It
Stand tall with your feet together. Step wide to one side and sit your hips back, bending that knee while the other leg stays straight. Push off the bent leg to step back to standing. Do all reps on one side, then switch.
Skill Level
Beginner. One new pattern or machine to learn, with light loads and low risk.
Type
Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.
Engagement
Unilateral (Non-Alternating). Do every rep on one side, then switch.
