Step 2
Brace your tummy like someone is going to poke your stomach and keep your shoulders back with your chest up
Step 3
With your weight in your heels, squeeze your glutes (your bum) and lift one leg forward (not too high, you shouldn’t feel a stretch)

Lower your leg, moving through your start position and lift your leg directly behind you. You’ve now created a ‘swinging’ movement
