How to perform

Step one leg diagonally behind you, shifting your weight to the front foot. Lower hips until the front thigh is parallel to the floor and the back knee is just above the ground. Maintain an upright torso, ensuring the front knee tracks over your toes. Drive through the front heel to return to the starting position.

Tips

Maintain an upright chest throughout the movement to engage your core and prevent rounding of the back, which will improve stability and power. Step diagonally to maximize hip mobility and engage your glutes effectively, ensuring a full range of motion. Keep your hips square to the target direction to prevent unnecessary twisting and maintain balance during the exercise. Focus on driving through the front heel to activate your glutes and hamstrings for a powerful return to the starting position. Imagine squeezing your glutes as you return to the upright position, which will help you fully extend your hips and maximize muscle activation.
