With your hands on your hips, assume a comfortable stance, feet shoulder-width apart, head up and torso erect.

Step with your right leg straight out to your side, as deep as you can go without moving your left foot. Plant your right foot and bend your right knee to 90. Then, flexing the muscles of your thigh, push yourself back up to a standing position and repeat the movement with your left leg. Alternate side to side until you've completed ten reps per leg.
