Description

Stand on a step with only one leg on the step. Ensure that your kneecap is aligned with the second toe of your supporting leg. Slowly lower yourself down and control your descent to the floor, then return to the starting position and repeat. Make sure to prevent your knee from rotating inward. To increase the difficulty, you can hold additional weights.
