Side Power Squat Kick

1. Start in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart and hands clasped together in front of your chest or on your hips.

2. Begin lowering your body down into a squat by bending the knees and pushing your hips back. Ensure that your chest remains lifted and your back straight.

3. Squat down until your thighs are parallel with the ground, or as low as you comfortably can.

4. As you rise up from the squat, shift your weight to one leg.

5. With the opposite leg, perform a powerful sidekick, extending the leg out to the side of your body. Keep your leg straight and kick with force, but be sure to control the movement to avoid injury.

6. Return the kicking leg to the ground and simultaneously lower back into another squat.

7. Repeat the exercise, alternating the power kick to the opposite side after each squat.

8. Perform the exercise for a set number of repetitions or time, and repeat for the desired number of sets.

Tips: Keep the core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance. It is important to perform the kick in a controlled manner, focusing on form and technique rather than speed. As you become more comfortable with the movement, you can increase the power of the kick for more intensity.
