- Stand with your feet hip width apart and your core engaged. Keep your shoulders back and down and your chest lifted.
- Take a large step forward with one foot. Your feet should remain hip width apart, as if on railway tracks rather than a tightrope.
- Bend both knees, lowering your back knee towards the floor until your front thigh is parallel to the ground. Aim for a roughly 90° angle at both knees. Your front knee should be directly over your ankle and not extend past your toes.
- Keep your torso upright and your core braced thorughout the movement. Focus on moving straight down and up, without leaning forward or backward.
- Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position, squeezing your glutes as you come up.
