Position:

Standing.

Movement:

Slowly step forward allowing both knees to bend so that the thigh of the forward leg is parallel to the floor and the knee of the rear leg touches the floor. Then, slowly push off with forward leg to return to the starting position. If this movement is too difficult to perform due to weakness, do not perform the full movement.
