Once you've mastered the squat, which is a bilateral movement, and they you've progressed
into the lunge which is a one legged squat but you've still got the idea of leaving one
foot and gravity at all times. Then you can step up one foot behind. Now, you've seen
this done on a step platform, probably before. We've got to get your balance down first,
get that kinetic chain firing from head to toe. And, we're just going to lift up and
in. And back and in. Now this supporting leg is working really hard, too, to stabilize
everything. You're going to feel everything start to shake. But we want to initiate the
load, the work, from the free leg, the one that's going to behind and lift and lower.
As you can see, you've got to fight to maintain your balance. If you start to lose your balance,
put you hands out to the side and don't forget to breathe, and down. Up and release. Once
you get that down you can press where you just get all air. Lift and lower and don't
touch. Make sure when you exit, you've got a good stance, come off the back, do about
twelve to fifteen reps on each side.
