Step by Step

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart.

2. Keep your back straight, push back with your hips like you are sitting in a chair. Bend your knees to roughly 90 degrees.

3. Return to standing by pressing your hips forward to activate your hamstrings. Maintain a lifted gaze and your shoulders back.

Track your knees over your toes, don't let them come in too far or out too wide. It's okay to tilt forward, but try to lower yourself down by bending at the knees, not your waist.
