Side Squat Exercises with Knee Lift

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm going to demonstrate how to do a combination side squat with a knee lift as you're coming up. Hands are going down on your hips, shoulders down the spine, chest open. We're going to squat open, almost like you're going to lunge. Pull that knee lift back up. Drop down, pop it up. You can either angle your knee out or you can come across the body so that you're working a little bit more into the diagonal portion of your internal oblique. Your knee coming out is going to be more external oblique. So you can try both variations; see what you're comfortable with. That toe's going to go straight ahead on this one. We're just going to squat and turn it, drive it open. Squat and turn it, drive it across. Try reps to fatigue. Option if you just started is doing 8 to 12 reps. If you've been working out for a while try to do it to failure. Whatever you do on your right do on your left. Keep them even. Take a break, do 2, 3 sets. This is going to really work into the inner thighs, quadriceps, outer thighs and glutes as well as those obliques. So we've got two muscle groups working at the same time. Enjoy that one. That is how we do side squat with a knee raise."
