Lower yourself until your left thigh is parallel to the floor and your knee is at an angle of 90 degrees. Your right leg should be about 10-15cm above the floor. Hold for a count of one. Push hard with your left leg to return to the starting position. Complete the desired number of repetitions then repeat with the right leg leading.
