1
While standing up straight with both feet next to each other at around shoulder width, grab a sturdy surface such as the sides of a squat rack or the top of a chair to brace yourself and keep balance.
2
With or without an ankle weight, lift one leg behind you as if performing a leg curl but standing up while keeping the other leg straight. Breathe out as you perform this movement.
3
Slowly bring the raised leg back to the floor as you breathe in.
4
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
5
Repeat the movement with the opposite leg.
