How to do it

  1. Take a wide stance and sink into a deep squat, hands resting lightly on your thighs.
  2. Drive up to standing and, as you rise, sweep one leg back and across behind the other in a curtsy-style step, then bring it back out wide and sink into the next squat.
  3. Alternate the stepping leg with every rep.
  4. The squat loads you, the step unbalances you, and the flow between the two is where the work sneaks in.
