How to Perform

  1. 1

    Stand upright and balance on one leg (e.g., left).

  2. 2

    Bend the other leg (right) behind you, bringing the heel towards your glutes.

  3. 3

    Extend arms forward for balance.

  4. 4

    Slowly lower into a squat on the standing leg, keeping your torso upright.

  5. 5

    Descend until the knee of the bent leg lightly touches the ground behind you (or as low as possible without touching).

  6. 6

    Push through the heel of the standing leg to return to the starting position.

  7. 7

    Maintain balance throughout. Repeat for desired reps before switching legs.
