How to perform exercise

- Lower your body towards the side of your angled foot by bending the knee and hip of your lead leg and while keeping the opposite leg only slightly bent. Breathe in as you lower your body.
- Return to the starting position by extending the hip and knee of the lead leg. Breathe out as you perform this movement.
- After performing the recommended amount of reps, repeat the movement with the opposite leg.
Variations: You can perform this movement with dumbbells.
