How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Repetitions: 10 per leg

Tempo: Slow and controlled movement

Description: Step forward by bending the front knee until the thigh is parallel to the ground, keeping the knee well aligned with the foot. Stabilize the position for a few seconds before gently returning to the starting position. Alternate legs with each repetition.

Tips: Ensure the knee does not extend beyond the toes to protect the joint. Keep the back straight and engage core muscles to maintain balance.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or add slight weight as the movement becomes easier.
