Instructions
1. Start Position: Begin by standing straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips or by your sides.
2. Forward Step: Take a large step forward with one leg, keeping your back straight and head up.
3. Lower Body: Bend both knees to lower your body towards the floor. The front knee should be over your ankle, and your back knee should come close but not touch the ground.
4. Check Alignment: Your front thigh should be parallel to the floor, and your back leg should be bent at the knee, creating two 90-degree angles.
5. Ascend: Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position.
6. Alternate Legs: Alternate legs and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Movement Control: Ensure that your movements are controlled throughout the exercise and avoid letting your front knee move past your toes to prevent unnecessary strain on the knee joint.
