How to do it

  1. Stand in a long stride, front foot flat, back heel lifted, hands on your hips.
  2. Lower straight down until your back knee almost touches the floor.
  3. Push up through the front heel without moving your feet. Finish all reps, then switch legs.

Do both sides.

Common mistake

Stance too short, so the front heel lifts.
