Ladies Who Lunge

The Duke Curtsy

Stand upright with your abdominal muscles tight and hands on your waist, heels touching and toes turned out slightly. In a single fluid movement, bring your left leg behind and to your right, bending both knees into a curtsy while keeping your back straight. (Hold on lightly to a chair back for balance if necessary.) Return to starting position. Repeat 12 times with each leg.
