1. Find a stable padded stool or a stepper that can support your weight comfortably.
2. Stand facing the stool with your feet roughly shoulder-width apart.
3. Place your hands firmly on the stool, bending forward at the waist to transfer your weight to your arms.
4. From a stabilized position, lift one knee towards your chest as high as you can without losing balance or proper form.
5. Lower your raised leg back to the starting position in a controlled motion and without allowing your foot to touch the floor if possible to maintain core engagement.
6. Raise the opposite knee towards your chest, repeating the movement.
7. Alternate between legs for each repetition.
8. Continue for the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring smooth and controlled movements throughout the exercise.
Be sure to keep your core engaged and back straight while performing the exercise to maximize its effectiveness and prevent injury. Adjust the height of the stool as needed to match your fitness level and leg length.
