- Place one foot on the platform behind you. Make sure your foot is secure on the surface.

2. Starting Position:
- Bend your knees slightly and position your hands in front of your chest for balance.
- Keep your torso upright and engage your core muscles.

3. Descending Motion:
- Lower your body by bending your front knee, keeping it aligned with your toes.
- Your back knee should lower towards the ground, aiming to almost touch the floor.
- Keep your weight evenly distributed and ensure your front knee does not extend past your toes.

4. Return Motion:
- Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position.
- Stand tall as you rise, fully extending your front leg.

5. Repetitions:
- Perform 8-12 repetitions on one leg, then switch to the other leg.

Tips:
- Maintain good posture with your chest lifted and shoulders back throughout the exercise.
- Focus on controlled movements to maximize effectiveness and reduce the risk of injury.
- If you're new to this exercise, start without weights to master the form before adding resistance.
