Stand in an upright stance with your hands on your hips and your legs at shoulder width apart.
Keep your legs at this spacing throughout the exercise and perform the movements in a slow controlled manner.
Maintain a straight back throughout this movement by keeping your abdominal muscles tight.
Move in to a slight squat and at the same time move one leg a small pace to the rear.
Touch the rear leg down with the ball of the foot, making sure your heel does not contact the floor.
As you move your rear leg you lower your body into the squat using your front leg.
Continue to lower the body and flex the rear leg within the comfortable range of movement. When you have reached the maximum extension of the rear leg rise out of the squat using both legs.
Repeat the movement for the other leg as required and continue for the desired number of repetitions.
