- With your opposite foot, lunge backward by forming a 90 degree angle with your knee.
- Then bring your back foot up on top of the step, beside your other foot, and push your hips back to lower yourself into a quarter squat position, and hold for 2 seconds.
- Stand up, then reverse the movement with the same leg back into a reverse lunge.
