Step back onto step with dumbbell

Proper Position

• Hold a dumbbell in each hand, arms by your sides, palms facing your body.
• Stand in front of a step or platform with your feet hip-width apart.
• Keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged for a stable posture.

Movement

• Step backward off the step with one foot, lowering your body by bending the front knee.
• Keep the front knee aligned with the ankle, and avoid letting it go past your toes.
• Push through the front foot to step back up onto the platform and return the rear foot to the starting position.
• Alternate legs with each repetition or complete all reps on one side before switching.

Breathing

• Inhale as you step backward and lower yourself.
• Exhale as you push through the front foot to return to the starting position.
