How to do it

  1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your hands on your hips.
  2. Step forward into a long stride and lower until your back knee is close to the floor.
  3. Drive through your front foot and step your back leg straight through into the next stride.
  4. Keep your chest up, your core tight, and your front knee tracking over your toes as you move.
  5. Count the steps of one leg: 10 steps with each leg is a set of 10 reps.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
