Instructions:

  • 1Begin in a standing position, feet hip-width apart.
  • 2Perform a single squat, going as low as you can while keeping your back straight.
  • 3As you come up from the squat, shift your weight to one leg and kick out to the side with the other leg.
  • 4Lower your leg and return to a standing position.
  • 5Repeat the exercise, alternating the kicking leg after each squat.

Tips:

  • Remember to keep your back straight during the squat.
  • Don't rush the movements – control is more important than speed.
  • Exhale as you stand and kick, inhale as you squat.
  • Make sure your kicking leg doesn't cross in front of your standing leg.
