Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
