1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms by your sides or hands clasped in front of you for balance.
2. Begin by lowering yourself into a squat position, bending at the knees and hips, and keeping your chest up and your back straight. Squat down as low as you can without losing form.
3. Push through your heels to rise back up to the starting position.
4. As you reach the top of the squat, shift your weight onto your right foot.
5. Keeping your left leg straight, raise it to the side as high as you can without compromising your posture.
6. Lower your left leg back to the starting position.
7. Now, lift the same leg straight to the front as high as comfortably possible, engaging your core and hip flexors.
8. Lower the leg back to the starting position to complete one repetition.
9. Repeat all the steps on the left leg for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the right leg.
Remember to keep the movements controlled, particularly when lifting and lowering your leg, to maximize the engagement of your muscles and ensure proper form.
