  3. Lower your body until your left thigh is parallel to the ground, and your right knee is hovering just above the floor.
  4. Push through your left heel to stand back up, bringing your right foot back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the movement by stepping backward with your left foot, alternating legs for each repetition.
