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.
