Steps:
• Begin by standing tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and pointing straight ahead, arms by your waist.
• Take a big step to your right with your right leg, toes pointed slightly outward. Engage your abdominal muscles, straighten your back and look straight ahead.
• Your left leg will remain straight while your right leg bends to nearly a 90° angle at the hip and knee. Press through your right heel to return to the starting position.

Useful Tips:

• Your knees shouldn’t go pass your toes.
