  2. Take a wide step to one side and shift your weight onto that leg.
  3. Bend the stepping knee and push your hips back, keeping the other leg straight and both feet flat.
  4. Keep your chest up as you lower, then push through the bent leg's heel to return to standing.
  5. Complete all reps on one side, then switch.
