Setup

Stand with your feet together and your hands on your hips.

How to perform

  1. Take a step forward with one leg.
  2. Lower your body until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.
  3. Your front knee should be directly above your ankle, and your back knee should hover just above the floor.
  4. Push off your front foot to return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat on the other side.

Form cues

  • Keep your torso upright throughout the movement.
  • Engage your core to maintain balance.
  • Ensure your front foot points straight ahead.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the front knee travel past the toes.
  • Leaning the torso too far forward.
  • Not lowering the body enough.
