Technique

  1. Stand on one leg, the other straight in front, arms reaching forward.
  2. Lower slowly, hip moves back, knee travels forward over the toes, heel in the floor.
  3. At the bottom the glute is at the heel, stand without bouncing, trunk leaning over the knee.

Common mistakes

  • Heel lifting: limited ankle mobility, put a board under it.
  • The free leg touching the floor.
