In this clip, we're going to be doing side squats with extra cuffs and coasters. I'm
going to use one coaster but if you get to the point where this exercise is not as challenging
for you, you can always place one coaster on both feet, underneath the balls of the
feet. What you're going to do is place your coaster on the ground, underneath the balls
of your foot. What you're going to do is you're going to squat to the right, sliding with
the coaster, extending your arms forward and just sit back into your squat. You want to
make sure this is a slow and controlled movement so you don't pull any muscles in your inner
thigh or your groin region. Your arms come forward and further up than shoulder level.
If that's not as comfortable for you, with your arms forward, you can always come to
the side. Another option is to raise your arms up, same goes as with all squats. Watch
the knees, make sure they don't go forward of the toes and you're sitting back into that
imaginary chair. Slow and controlled, coming to the side. With this extra added resistance,
you may not be able to do as many squats, as you do normally. I would start off with
five to ten side squats, on each leg and do two to three sets. Gradually build up your
endurance to where you can do more.
