Stand up straight and place your feet at less than shoulder-width apart. This is your starting position.
Lunge forward with one leg and go down all the way until your leading leg is bent at least 90 degrees. At the same time your other leg's knee will be just a couple of inches away from the floor. Keep your back straight and vertical and head up as if you're looking into the horizon. Then, push yourself off with the leading leg and get back into the starting position. Once back, lunge with your other leg first and repeat entire movement sequence for the desired or prescribed number of repetitions.
