Step-down

  • Duration: 7 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Weight loss

Stand on a sturdy step or the bottom stair of a staircase, with a railing or wall nearby for support if needed. Keeping one foot planted on the step, slowly lower your other foot toward the floor by bending the standing knee, tapping your toes down lightly without putting full weight through that foot, then push back up to standing tall on the step. Do 2 sets of 8 repetitions on each side.
