Instructions
1. Start by standing upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Step one foot diagonally behind you, crossing it behind the other leg (similar to a curtsy), while bending both knees to lower your body until the back knee nears the floor. Ensure your front knee is aligned with your front ankle and doesn't jut out over the front toe.
3. Push through the heel of your front foot to rise back up, and as you do, bring your back foot forward and upward into a knee-up position. Try to raise your knee as high as comfortable while maintaining your balance.
4. Lower your raised leg back into the starting position and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
Remember to remain controlled and smooth throughout the movement. It's important to engage your core and keep your upper body straight to maintain balance. This exercise targets the muscles of the lower body while also challenging your balance and stability.
