Lateral step-up

  • Duration: 8 min
  • Level: Beginner

Stand sideways next to a sturdy step, with a railing or wall nearby for support if needed. Place the foot nearest the step on top of it, then push through that foot to step up sideways, bringing your other foot to join it on the step. Step back down the same way you came up, leading with the foot that stepped up first. Do up to 5 sideways steps on each side.
