HOW: Set up a step on the ground. Step up onto the step with one leg and then drive the opposite leg into a 90 degree angle at the knee and the hip. From here, shift your weight forward on the stance leg, bending your knee, and place weight onto the driving leg accepting the weight. Reverse the movement by pushing through your front leg back to the single leg stance and then returning to the starting position.Repeat as prescribed. 

FEEL: You should feel your leg muscles working. 

COMPENSATION: Keep your upper half upright, don’t slouch forwards as you step up and back. Don’t rush, pause at each step in the exercise.
