The U Squat is a dynamic leg exercise that targets the lower body by combining elements of a squat and lateral movement. It enhances balance, coordination, and strengthens the legs, particularly the quads and glutes.

How to do it

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, arms crossed at chest level.
  2. Lower into a squat, keeping chest up and knees behind toes.
  3. As you rise, shift weight to one leg and extend the opposite leg to the side.
  4. Return to center and repeat on the other side.
  5. Maintain a smooth side-to-side motion with controlled breathing.
