Floor Based

Group

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Drive through the heel of the front foot to return to standing.
  2. 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  3. 3. Brace core before stepping; stability is set before the weight shifts.
  4. 4. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.

Regression:

Use a split-squat with the rear foot elevated on a low surface to reduce the balance demand.

Progression:

Introduce a knee-drive at the top of the step to increase hip flexor and single-leg balance demand.

Common Problems:

Pushing off the back toe to assist the return — ensure all drive comes from the front heel.
