Side-Traveling Ape

Start in a deep squat position with your hands just outside of the feet [as shown]. Press down into the ground and raise your hips to swing your legs laterally, keeping core tight [as shown]. Kick out the lead leg and allow the trailing leg to land first, while the front leg continues to kick out towards the ground [as shown]. Once both feet are on the ground, slide your hips low back to the starting position. That's one rep. Do 16 reps, alternating directions each time, moving slowly and deliberately.
