Exercise Types:
Lower Step, Total Hang
Contraindications:
Knee Problems, Shoulder Issues/Mobility
Equipment:
Floor Based
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Shoulders stay stacked over hips — no leaning to one side.
  2. 2. Front shin should remain as vertical as possible throughout.
  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:

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

Common Problems:

Torso collapsing forward — reinforce upright chest and a strong brace before the step.
