Lateral Squats

Lateral Squats target the muscles often overlooked in traditional squats—especially the inner thighs, glutes, and hips. This side-to-side movement builds strength in the lateral plane (think: stepping around your chair or rotating to grab tools) while also improving hip mobility and knee stability.

For beauty professionals, it’s a game changer for staying grounded and agile during all the subtle movements you make throughout the day.

Why It’s Essential for Beauty Pros:

  • Strengthens Hips, Glutes & Inner Thighs: Supports strong, stable movement in all directions.

  • Improves Hip Mobility: Helps release tension from standing with a limited range of motion.

  • Enhances Balance & Coordination: Prepares your body for everyday shifts and pivots in the salon.

  • Reduces Injury Risk: Builds resilience where beauty pros need it most—your hips and knees.

Lateral Squats are perfect for beauty pros who want to move better, feel stronger, and avoid stiffness—so you can stay flexible and powerful behind the chair.
