1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. 2. Step forward with one leg, lowering your body until both knees are bent at about 90 degrees. 3. Ensure your front knee is directly above your ankle. 4. Push back through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position. 5. Alternate legs and repeat for 8-12 reps per leg. 6. Perform 3-4 sets.

Tips:

- Keep your chest lifted and your back straight. - Avoid letting your front knee go past your toes. - Engage your core for better balance. - Start with smaller steps if you're new to the movement.
