Video Transcript

Front leg drops. Start by keeping your legs straight and at 90 degrees from your trunk. If you can't extend your legs and maintain 90 degrees, bend them slightly keeping challenging tension in your core. Activate your core before you start the motion by curving your hips up, curve your spine, and focus on your knees. Drop one leg in a smooth, controlled rhythm, bring it low enough to challenge your core. Draw through your abs and bring it back up to the starting position.
