# Balance Board Lateral Squat

Stand on the balance board with your feet shoulder-width apart.

## How to do it

1. Stand on the balance board with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Shift your weight to one side and bend at the knees and hips to perform a squat, keeping your core engaged to maintain balance.
3. Return to the starting position and shift your weight to the other side, performing a squat on the opposite side.
4. Continue alternating sides in a controlled, rhythmic manner.

## Form tips

- Keep your knees aligned with your toes to prevent strain on your joints.
- Engage your core muscles to maintain stability and support your lower back.
- Focus on a point in front of you to help maintain balance and control.
