    Begin with your feet together. Bring your right foot directly out to the side and bend your right knee when your foot hits the ground.

  2. Step 2

    Push off your right leg from the lunge using the power from your quads and return to the starting position.

  3. Step 3

    Repeat this exercise for 12 to 15 repetitions and 3 to 4 sets on each leg.
