How to do High Crescent Lunge

1. Point your right toes forward and ground your right heel.
2. Keep your left foot behind you, balancing on the ball of that foot with the heel lifted.

4. Bend your right knee until it sits over your ankle.
5. Keep your right knee pointing in the same direction as your toes.
