Preparation: Stand with your hands on your hips and feet just slightly less than shoulder width apart. Knees are slightly bent.

Breathing: Breath out on the contraction upward and breath back in on the way back down to the start position.

Execution: Begin the exercise movement by keeping your head and back straight and looking forward, while you step forward at an angle first to your left and then alternate to your right side. You will step as if you are taking a giant step forward on a diagonal and then start to bend both your front knee and your trailing leg knee as you dip downward, while maintaining your upper torso upright position to the rest of your body. Return to the start position and repeat on both sides alternating.
