Instructions

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Take a large step backward with one foot.

2. Keep your torso straight and tall, engage your core, and begin to lower your hips toward the floor. The front knee should be aligned with your front ankle, and the back knee should be pointing toward the floor but not touching it.

3. Lower down until your front thigh is almost parallel to the floor. Ensure that your front knee does not go past your toes.

4. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then push through the heel of your front foot to rise back up to the starting position.

5. Complete the desired number of repetitions on one leg before switching to the other leg.

6. For added challenge and resistance, hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides or a barbell across your shoulders.

Note: It is important to maintain balance and proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury and ensure the targeted muscles are effectively worked.
