START: Start by standing on your left leg with a weight in a weight in both hands, hanging  your arms straight down just inside of your front knee. Hold your right hand on your hip and lower into a one-leg squat, by raising your right leg and extending it slightly behind you as you lean your upper body forward and push your hips back to bend your front knee slightly.
 
Technique Tip: Lift your rib cage and lengthen your spine as you lean forward so your torso forms a diagonal line from head to hips.
