Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Lateral Squat Walk.
A bodyweight lower-body exercise that combines a squat with lateral movement, shifting body weight from side to side to work the quadriceps, glutes, and inner thighs while adding a dynamic component. It is effective for warm-ups, conditioning, and developing lateral hip stability.
The Lateral Squat Walk is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
