Lunge forward with one leg, so that your thigh is parallel to the floor, with your knee over your toes, keeping your back straight and head up throughout the movement.

Keeping your abdominal muscle contracted, push down on your front foot in order to push yourself back to your starting position, whereby you can then repeat the exercise, working either the same leg (harder) or alternate your legs.

Stretch and Warm Up before you commence any exercise and aim to finish with some good stretching to let your body and mind recover.
