Squat down remembering to keep your knees over your toes, with your arms down to your sides.
Come up, extending one leg to the side, keeping your hands out to the side to aid your balance.
You can either alternate legs, or work the same leg continuously for set repetitions then swap sides.
Holding the leg in the outer phase for 2 - 3 seconds will increase the difficulty of this exercise.
