# Alternate Heel Touch Side Kick Squat

Stand tall with your back straight, arms by your side, and feet shoulder-width apart.

## How to do it

1. Stand tall with your back straight, arms by your side, and feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Lower your hips by bending one of your knees while sliding the opposite leg outward on the floor, and touch your heel with your hands.
3. Return to the initial position, and do the same while bending your other knee and sliding the opposite leg.

## Form tips

- Keep your core engaged to maintain balance and stability throughout the exercise.
- Ensure your knees do not extend past your toes when squatting to protect your joints.
- Perform the side leg slides with controlled movements to maintain proper form and avoid injury.
