How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall with your feet together and your hands on your hips or by your sides.

  2. 2

    Breathe in as you take a big step forward with one foot and lower your back knee toward the floor.

  3. 3

    Breathe out as you push off your front foot to step back to the start.

  4. 4

    That's one rep — keep your upper body upright throughout, then alternate legs and repeat.

Where you should feel it: The fronts of your thighs and your glutes.

What your coach says mid-set

  • “Big step forward, back knee lowers”
  • “Push off the front foot to return”
  • “Upper body stays upright”

Common mistakes

Front knee wobbling inward

Take a slightly shorter step and keep your front knee over your middle toes.
