Steps:
• Begin by standing in a split-stance with your right foot forward and your left foot back. Engage your abdominal muscles, straighten your back and look straight ahead.
• Maintain this position as you lower your hips toward the floor by bending your legs to 90°.
• Continue down until your left knee nears the floor and then slowly pulse up and down by about an inch for a set period of time or reps. Then push through your right heel to return to standing.
• Repeat the exercise with your left leg forward.
Useful Tips:
• Keep your chest up, back straight and look ahead.
• Avoid leaning your body forward or backward.
• Do not let either heel turn inward. Keep feet in line with the legs.
• Your knees shouldn’t go pass your toes.
• The back heel should always be lifted slightly.
