Steps:
• Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms by your waist.

• Then press through your right heel to return to the starting position, repeat and alternate between the left and right leg.

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.

You should feel your:
