- Start by standing up tall.

- Lift your back lunging leg and lift your feet off the ground to return to the starting position.
- Switch legs and repeat on the other side.
Points of attention
- Keep your upper body straight.
- Make sure to hit a 90-degree angle at both knees.
- Keep your chest lifted.
