Place your hands behind you, fingers facing away from your body.
Lift your knees 12 inches off the floor and sit your butt back toward your heels.
Bring your right foot back to meet your left and your butt back toward your heels again.
Repeat the movement, this time bringing your left foot to the outside of your left hand.
Continue, alternating legs, for 20 seconds.
Transverse Lunge to Power Skip
