To find correct leg positioning: kneel down, step right leg forward being sure that the right heel is lined up directly above the ankle with the weight mostly the n the heel. Toes of left foot are pulled in. Now stand up. Your legs should be shoulder width apart with the back heel up. This is your starting position.
- Pull your shoulders back, chest up, abdominal muscles pulled in tight.
- Bend at the knees and lower your hips toward the floor stopping before your back knee hits the floor, keeping the front knee above ankle.
- Straighten knees without locking as you return to start.
