Here is the first of several alternate picking exercises that I'll post to the blog over the next few weeks.  Start on the low E string and follow strict alternate picking as you work through the other notes. Once you have the exercise under your fingers starting with a downstroke, practice it again starting with an upstroke.

Get this under your fingers as each exercise will become progressively harder. Good luck!
