Lateral squat walk
Hips and glutes · Building · in reps · per side
Why it helps your running
Glutes under constant tension, step after step: a hip that never gives in, even deep into the kilometres.
- You'll need
- nothing: just your bodyweight
- Tempo
- 1 s down, 1 s up
How to do it
- In a half squat, feet parallel, take steps sideways without ever standing up.
- Keep your feet apart, make each step clear, push your knees outward.
- Take as many steps to the left as to the right.
Common mistakes
- You stand up between each step.
- Your feet come together and the tension drops.
- Your knees cave in.
