Exercise Type:
Lower Step
Contraindications:
None
Equipment:
Step
Applicability:
Group
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
Yes

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. The standing leg stays engaged even when it is the recovery leg.
  2. 2. Hip flexor of the trailing leg should feel a stretch at the bottom.
  3. 3. Brace core before stepping; stability is set before the weight shifts.

Regression:

Perform a slow step-up onto a low box before progressing to lunges with a full stride.

Progression:

Add a loaded carry in the opposite hand to create an offset stability challenge.

Common Problems:

Hip hiking on the rear leg — cue level hips and engage the stance-leg glute.
