  1. 1 Stand with your feet hip-width apart, then step one foot slightly forward so the heel is in line with the toes of your back foot.
  2. 2 Lift the heel of your front foot slightly, keeping most of your weight on your back foot and the ball of your front foot.
  3. 3 Engage your core and begin to lower your hips down and back as if sitting into a chair.
  4. 4 Continue to descend until your front thigh is roughly parallel to the floor, keeping your chest upright.
  5. 5 Drive through your back heel and the ball of your front foot to push yourself back up to the starting position.
  6. 6 Complete all repetitions on one side before switching your foot position and repeating on the other side.
