Perform instructions

1) Shift your weight to your right leg and bring your left leg up - grab the shin with your hands. Slightly pull the leg closer to your body.

2) Release your leg and step outwards to the left - you should have a wide stance and point your feet outwards.

3) Shift the weight on your left leg and bend the knee. You should be in a side lunge position.

4) Hinge from the hips and place both hands on the floor. Lift the left heel up and shift some of your weight to your arms.
