Beginner's Tip: The more you bend your legs and the lower you get to the ground, the more work you'll put on your glutes!

A.Stand with your feet together, knees slightly bent, hands on your hips. Tap your right toe next to your left foot.

B. Next, step with your right foot to the right side.

C. Now follow with your left, and touch with your left toe down briefly next to your right foot. Next, step to the left with your left foot (B), and tap with your right (A). Repeat, alternating sides and using an even cadence.
