How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand in a clear path with feet hip-width apart and enough room to take several full steps.

  2. 2

    Breathe in as you step forward and bend both knees, lowering your back knee toward the floor.

  3. 3

    Breathe out as you push through the front foot, stand, and bring the back foot forward.

  4. 4

    Continue alternating legs; turn around only after both feet come together.

Where you should feel it: Your front thigh and glute.

What your coach says mid-set

  • “Back knee lowers toward the floor”
  • “Drive off the front foot to stand”
  • “Bring your feet together before turning”

Common mistakes

Short steps that tip you forward

Take a longer step so you can lower straight down.
