Stand with legs shoulder width apart.  Squat down as if you were going to sit in a chair.  Keep all the weight in your heels and make sure your knees do not extend beyond your toes.  Squeeze your glutes (buns) as you push yourself back up.  Just before your reach standing position, raise your right leg to the side and off the ground a few inches. (See video.) Bring your leg back down and proceed immediately into the next squat.  Keep your abs engaged throughout.  Continue on the same side until you have completed 1 set of 12.  Then switch sides for another set of 12.
