- Begin seated on the floor with your legs hip-width apart.
- Bend your knees and hips to approximately 90-degrees and place your feet flat on the floor.
- Keep your torso as upright as possible and drop both knees down to one side.
- Pause briefly, bring your knees back up, and repeat on the opposite side.
- It is essential to keep both of your glutes in contact with the floor at all times.
- Eventually, you'll be able to get both knees down to the floor without having to lose glute-to-floor contact.
- If you have a hard time staying upright, do these with your back against the wall.
- Swivel side to side for reps.
