Heels up, hold the support

  1. Starting position

    Stand with your feet hip-width apart, lightly hold a stable support and raise your heels off the floor.

    Move your knees forward and lean back in a straight line, then straighten your knees and rise.

Most common mistake

Don't bend at your hips, keep a straight line from your knees to your shoulders as your knees bend and straighten.
