The lateral sliding single-leg squat is a great way to add variation to your lower-body training.
It’s not quite a lateral squat and not quite a single-leg squat but more of a hybrid that gives you the best of both worlds. I find this to be a good option for people who might struggle with a traditional single leg squat as the sliding leg can produce a little assistance.
You get solid loading on the stance leg, some adductor work on the sliding leg, and a challenge to your hip mobility.
I typically start clients with an anterior reach using a med ball, then progress to holding a kettlebell low and reaching it toward the arch of the outside leg.
