- Stand with your torso upright, feet hip-width apart and hands on your hips.
- Leading with your right foot, step 2 to 3 feet forward and lower your hips down so that the front knee forms 90-degree angle but does not pass the toes and the back knee almost touches the floor. Keep your upper body upright and inhale as you go down.
- Forcefully push off with the heel of the forward leg and go back to the standing position as you exhale. Repeat 10 to 20 times and then perform with your left leg.
To increase the intensity of this exercise, use a set of 2 dumbbells.
Tip: to improve your balance focus on one spot in front of you while doing the exercise.
