Flex at the hip and then bend your knees and go all the way down as if you were sitting on a chair until your thighs are parallel to the floor.

2 Lunges
Place the barbell straight on your shoulders. With one foot in front of the other, bend your rear knee and direct it toward the floor. Do not force your front knee to go forward. Repeat the movement without moving your legs.
