Smoothly extend one foot up onto the step box, whilst lowering the other knee down towards the floor, holding in the lower phase for 1 – 2 seconds, prior to exhaling out and returning back to your starting position.
Keeping your abdominal muscle contracted, and your back straight, push down on your front foot, in order to push yourself back, taking care that the step box is secure.
Aim to keep your back straight, repeating the movement for desired amount of reps, changing legs and repeating on your other side, or working one leg at a time (harder).
Always make sure that the step box is secure, and that you place your foot firmly on the center part, especially when you become tired.
