Keep your feet wide while keeping your toes facing forward. Extend your arms to the side. Keep your shoulders relaxed as you lower your body. Place your palms and your fingers on the floor. Shift your body weight forward, and back as you breathe in and out.

Step 4: Side squats
Keep your legs apart and bend your knees outward. Ensure that your back is straight and your chest is up. During the squats keep your ab muscles firm. Breath in and out as you bend down and get up.

Step 5: Lunges

Turn sidewards and place one leg forward and bring the other behind. Keep your back straight as you bend your back knee downward and front knee forward. Make sure your knees are firm as you jump up and down, while breathing in and out.
