FitCiStep-by-step
- Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your torso stable.
- Sweep one leg back and across (as if curtsying), behind your other leg.
- Bend both knees to lower your hips down; don't let your front knee travel past your toes.
- Drive through the heel of your front foot to stand up and return to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement with the other leg and maintain your balance.
Coaching tip
Cross your back leg behind you diagonally, feel your glute medius, and keep your balance.
