Starting Position

2. Open your chest and straighten your back.

Proper Form

1. Step back with one foot and raise the heel of that foot.

2. Lower yourself until the angle of both knees is 90 degrees.

3. Keep your chest open and your back straight as you return to the starting position.

4. Repeat the same with the opposite leg.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while going up.

Precautions
