How to do it
Keep your gaze fixed on a point straight ahead to steady your balance each rep.
- 1
Stand in a staggered stance with one foot forward and the other back, holding a bottle at your sides.
- 2
Lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor and your back knee nearly touches the ground.
- 3
Keep your weight on your front heel as you push back up to the starting position.
- 4
Complete all reps on one side before switching to the other leg.
Expert tip
Keep your torso upright and your front knee in line with your ankle to prevent strain on the knee joint.
