How to do it

1. Assume the starting position by standing tall with your shoulders back, abs tight, gaze directed forward, and hands on your hips.
2. Have your feet in a comfortable stance (roughly shoulder-width apart) with your toes pointing slightly out.
3. Take a breath and bring the right leg back, landing on the ball of the right foot. Immediately sink into a lunge by bending your front leg.
4. Descend until your front thigh is almost parallel to the floor and your rear knee is an inch or two from the floor. The stride length will vary from person to person, but you should avoid using short and extended steps. A good stance is when your front shin remains relatively vertical (knee over ankle) as you descend.
5. Pause at the bottom and engage your front leg to bring yourself back to the top.
6. Bring the right leg to the starting position, maintain the shoulder-width apart stance, and exhale as you reach the top.
7. Take another breath and lunge back with your left leg, landing on the ball of your left foot.
8. Keep alternating throughout the set and perform equal reps for both legs.
