Lateral Step Down Exercise
The lateral step down is an excellent way to build lower body strength and stability. The best part? You can do it anywhere you have a step or sturdy stool! It’s a simple exercise that can really help with balance, control, and overall leg strength.
How-To :
- Slowly bend the knee of the leg that’s on the step, allowing the opposite leg to lower down towards the ground. Make sure to keep your knee aligned with your toes and avoid letting it collapse inward.
- Go down as far as you can while maintaining control, aiming for a smooth and steady movement.
- Push through the heel of the leg on the step to return to the starting position. Straighten your knee and stand back up, keeping your movements controlled
