Instructions
1. Starting Position:
- Stand facing the step box with your feet hip-width apart.
- Ensure the step box is stable and at a height that is comfortable for you.
2. Step Up:
- Shift your weight onto one foot (let's say the right foot).
- Plant your right foot firmly onto the step box.
- Press through your right heel to lift your body up onto the step.
3. Finish Position:
- Once fully on the step, your right leg will be straight, and your left leg will be hanging down.
- Stand tall and engage your core for stability.
4. Step Down:
- To return to the starting position, step down with your left foot first.
- Follow with your right foot to return to the ground.
5. Repetition:
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
- Switch to the other leg and repeat.
Tips:
- Maintain a straight back and avoid leaning forward during the movement.
- Focus on using the muscles in your legs and core to control the movement.
- Start with a lower step height if you're a beginner and gradually increase as you gain confidence.
