Description

A bodyweight exercise where you stand in a squat position and alternate stepping out to each side.

How to Do Alternating Step Out

1
Setup
Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your core engaged.
2
Setup
Lower into a shallow squat position, pushing your hips back slightly and keeping your chest lifted.
3
While maintaining your squat depth, step your right foot out to the side, landing softly on the ball of your foot.
4
Push off your right foot to return it to the starting shallow squat position.
5
Immediately repeat the step-out movement with your left foot, alternating sides for the duration of the set.

Tips

Maintain a consistent, shallow squat depth throughout the entire exercise to keep continuous tension on your glutes and quads.
Focus on driving off the stepping foot to return to the center, actively engaging your gluteus medius and minimus.
Keep your chest up and gaze forward to maintain a neutral spine and avoid hunching over.
Control the movement rather than rushing, prioritizing smooth transitions and proper form over speed.

Common Mistakes

×Losing squat depth between steps reduces muscle engagement; stay low and maintain a consistent hip hinge throughout the exercise.
×Shuffling feet instead of distinct steps diminishes glute activation; ensure each step out is a clear, controlled movement with a strong push back to the center.
×Leaning excessively to the stepping side shifts weight unevenly; keep your torso centered over your standing leg as you step out.
