How to perform

Follow these steps to perform the exercise correctly:

1

Starting Position

Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core braced.

2

Stepping Forward

Take a large step forward with one leg. Your front foot should land flat, and your back heel should lift off the ground.

Step far enough that your front shin stays vertical when your knee is bent — too short and the knee shoots forward.
3

Lowering

Lower your body by bending both knees to roughly 90°. Your front knee should stay directly over your ankle, and your back knee should hover just above the ground.

4

Returning

Push through your front heel to return to the starting position. Squeeze your glute at the top, then repeat on the other leg.

Form tips

Keep your torso upright — resist the urge to lean forward over your front leg.

Front knee tracks over your second toe — don't let it cave inward.

Land softly on your front foot, don't slam it down.

For extra glute activation, take a slightly longer stride.
