How to do it
- Stand facing a sturdy box or bench about knee height.
- Place your whole right foot on the box.
- Lean slightly forward and drive through the right heel to step up until the leg is straight.
- Bring the left foot up, then step down with the left foot first, under control.
- Finish all reps on one leg, then switch.
Coaching tips
- Let the top leg do the work — don't push off the bottom foot.
- Lower box height if your knee caves in.
Common mistakes
- Box too high to control.
- Dropping down fast instead of lowering.
