Starting Position
- the legs are hip width open
- legs are slightly bent
- body is straightened, the hands on the hips or stretched out in front of the body
- look ahead while you do this exercise
Correct Execution
- make a big step to the side and bend the knee joint to 90 degrees
- push your bottom back a bit
- the feet have to be parallel
- the knee should not protrude the tiptoes in the squat, this preserves the joints
- the other foot remains unmoved, the other leg is stretched out automatically
- bring pressure on the heel of the bent leg and push yourself back up again
- pull back the bent leg
- repeat the exercise several times, also work out the other leg
tip for the workout
- to make this even more effective, use a filled backpack
