Standing on your right foot, step left into a side lunge position. Push off of your left leg and move directly into a curtsy squat. Perform 10 repetitions on each leg.

3. Reverse Lunge into Single-Leg Deadlift 

Standing on your right leg, step back with your left leg into a reverse lunge. Return to standing position and extend your left leg back into a single-leg deadlift. Perform 10 repetitions on each leg.
