Another fun way to play with and increase the diff Another fun way to play with and increase the difficulty of your regular squats is by changing up the angle of movement. 👉Introducing a side-to-side squatting motion lets you load one leg much heavier at a time compared to regular squats. This is great for more strength and muscle development while helping out any imbalances between the right and left leg. 👉 Aside from that, the lateral DEEP movement is great for improving your mobility, balance, coordination, and control. 👉Keep in mind this technique when performing the side-to-side squat: ✅ Upper torso upright with a straight and extended spine ✅ Hips down and slightly back ✅ Go as far as mobility/flexibility allows ✅ Knee over the ankle when lowering Side-to-side squats demand a good foundation of regular bodyweight squats and adequate lower body mobility. Practicing the exercise without a good foundation isn’t ideal.

🎯After training thousands of athletes over the 🎯After training thousands of athletes over the years, we became more convinced that not all "fitness" is equal. 🏋️ Weightlifting has its place, and we use it in our training, too. Doing random bodyweight exercises from various apps might get you to lose some pounds because of cardio but can leave you in pain long term. That's why just chasing aesthetic goals makes no sense if you are after being healthy, pain-free, and lean for life.💯 🤜You need a strategic, structured bodyweight training program that starts you where you are and customized to address weaknesses for holistic, overall body development. This is why when we first started The Movement Athlete, we said ❌❌NO to beginner, intermediate, advanced plans and 8-week courses and committed to building something that will get you on a journey of bodyweight mastery in the safest, structured, and most SUSTAINABLE WAY. 🔥This new philosophy of ADAPTIVE CALISTHENICS🔥 ✅ Fully personalized, progressive calisthenics ✅ Autoregulating (Self-adjusting) structured programming ✅ Complete workouts that cover mobility, strength, endurance, muscle-building, and flexibility ✅ Life long journey 🏆🏆Adapt this new fitness strategy; you’ll feel much better with your body for life.💪 Try out The Movement Athlete for free! 📌 Check link in the bio💯 . . . #calisthenicsmotivation #progressive_calisthenics #bodyweightexercises #calisthenics #calisthenicsworkout #calisthenicsmovement #streetworkout #bodyweightcalisthenics #bodyweightworkout #bodyweighttraining #stretchingexercises #calistenia #flexibility #stretching #calisthenicsfreestyle #homeworkout #pullups #mobility #gymnast #strengthtraining #flexible #circus #humanflag
