Stand a few feet in front of a bench, bend your right knee, and rest the top of your right foot on the bench [1]. Keeping your torso upright, bend your left knee and lower your body until your right knee touches the floor (but do not rest it on the floor) [2]. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position. That's one rep. Perform 12 reps and then switch legs. When you can perform three sets of 12 reps, add dumbbells to the exercise.
If you do nothing else, do these.
