Starting Position
Take a lunge step. Your rear leg rests on your toes, or
place your instep on an object. Hold dumbbells in your
hands or a weight such as a punching bag. Tense your
abdominal muscles, and keep your upper body straight.

Execution
Bend your knees as much as possible, but don’t rest them
on the ɻoor and don’t change the position of your feet.
Make sure that your front knee remains above your foot
and doesn’t move to the front or side. Next, stretch your
legs and repeat the exercise.

Variants
Advanced athletes can rest the front foot on a moveable
surface such as a balance board or a balance cushion.
