- Take a big step back with your right foot and lower your right knee until it almost touches the floor. Keep your left knee bent at a 90-degree angle and your torso upright.
- Push through your left heel and return to the starting position. Repeat with your left foot stepping back.
- Repeat with your left leg and alternate sides for the desired number of reps.
