| Place a bar across your shoulders and trapezius muscle area. Step forward approximately 2.5 - 3.5 feet and drop straight down. Go as low as is comfortable to you or until your front thigh is parallel to the ground. Exhale and lift your body forward and up. Then step forward with your opposite leg in a walking fashion and repeat the movements. Try to be as fluid as possible. Minimize any extraneous movements. This exercise requires flexibility, balance and strength. If the workout says to perform 8 repetitions this would be sixteen steps total, so that each leg will get eight reps. Keep your front knee positioned above your foot throughout at the bottom of the exercise. |
