A lower body strength pair targeting quads, glutes, and inner thighs – ideal for countering long hours of sitting or as a quick leg reset.

You'll move laterally first, loading one leg at a time, then shift into standard squats. Together they hit your legs from two angles – side-to-side and up-and-down – which most desk-bound routines skip entirely.

Research shows that regular squatting movements help maintain lower body strength and hip mobility, both of which tend to decline with prolonged sitting throughout the day.
