Instructions
Starting Position:
1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward.
2. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides or clasped in front of you for balance.
3. Engage your core by pulling your belly button in toward your spine.
Movement Instructions:
1. Lower your hips down into a squat position, bending your knees but not allowing them to extend past your toes. Aim to keep your back straight and chest up.
2. As you squat down, shift your weight onto your left foot, lifting your right heel off the ground to come up onto your tiptoe.
3. Hold this position briefly, feeling the stretch in your inner thighs and a slight burn in your quadriceps.
4. Return to the starting squat position with both feet flat on the ground.
5. Stand back up to the starting position, bringing your feet together.
6. Repeat the motion, shifting your weight to your right foot while lifting your left heel onto your tiptoe.
7. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions (start with 10-15 per side).
Tips:
- Focus on maintaining good posture throughout the exercise.
- Keep your movements controlled to avoid injury.
- If you find it difficult to balance, hold onto a sturdy surface nearby (like a wall or a chair) for support.
Cool Down:
- After completing your set, gently stretch your legs and back to relax your muscles.
Remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body!
