Exercise Instruction:
Stand with your feet about hip width apart and take a big step forward. Lower your body so that your back knee almost touches the floor. Pause and then come back up. In the bottom position the shin of the front leg should be perpendicular to the ground. If the knee of the front leg is coming out over the toes then step farther out. This is very important for the health of the knee. The front knee should also be tracking over the front foot, do not allow it to fall in or out. Keep the torso upright throughout the course of the movement. After completing the set switch legs. For added resistance place a barbell on your back or grab a pair of dumbbells.
