Expert Advice
Keep your upper body straight with your shoulders back and relaxed, and chin up. Always engage your core and make sure your knee does not go beyond your toes on the front foot to avoid joint strain.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart.
- Take a step forward with your right leg, ensuring that you step far enough to keep your right knee directly above your right ankle.
- Lower your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle. The back knee should hover just above the ground.
- Keep the weight in your heels as you push back up to the starting position.
- Repeat on the other side, stepping forward with your left leg.
- Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.
