Circuit 1, Exercise 2: Alternating Curtsy Lunge to Squat
Start standing with your feet hip-width distance apart and your hands at your chest (hands on your hips works, too!).
Step your right leg diagonally behind you and to the left so your thighs cross, simultaneously bending both knees as if you were curtsying. Aim for a 90-degree bend in both knees.
Pull your navel toward your spine throughout the movement to engage your core and to avoid hunching your back.
Drive through your left foot and push off of your right toes to return to standing.
Bend your knees, lowering into a squat, as you shift your hips and butt back.
Return to standing, and repeat on the other side.
This is one rep. Keep alternating, completing one squat after every curtsy lunge, for 30 seconds.
