How to do it

Starting position

Lower the strap to about ankle height.
Place the top of one foot in the strap and position it to the side.
Clasp your hands in front of your chest to keep your balance.

Movement

Open the leg in the strap out to the side as you squat down on your standing leg.
Lower down until the thigh of your standing leg is parallel to the floor.
Push through your standing leg to stand up as you bring the strapped leg back in.
Complete the target reps and switch legs.

Breathing

Inhale as you squat down, exhale as you stand up.

Cautions

The straps sway, so start with a shallow depth.
Make sure the knee of your standing leg does not deviate from the direction of your toes.
