Technique

  1. Take a long step forward, trunk upright, arms relaxed.
  2. Lower until the front thigh is horizontal and the back knee just above the floor.
  3. Push off the front foot back to standing, repeat on the other leg.

Common mistakes

  • Front knee caving in.
  • Step too short: the knee travels far past the toes and the heel lifts.
