Stand with your feet spaced hip width apart.

Start by taking a diagonal step backwards, bend both knees and lower into a lunge. The knee should bend to approximately 90 degrees and your back knee will almost touch the floor. Push through your front leg and return to the start position. Your front knee should track in line with your foot. Activate your core to keep a straight back. Repeat for the desired repetitions then switch legs.

Avoid having your front knee come too far in or outside.
