Exhale entering the starting position. Perform 4 sets of 15 repetitions.

Return to the starting position and start again. Inhale to take a step with the right leg to the distance that you have measured. Exhale as you descend and ascend again to inhale, exhale and put your weight onto your back leg; repeat the whole cycle with opposite leg. You must perform four sets of 15 repetitions for each leg.
