Tips

Engage your core muscles throughout the exercise to stabilize your torso and protect your lower back. Maintain an upright posture, avoiding leaning forward or backward, to ensure proper alignment and prevent strain. Step deliberately and with control, resisting the urge to bounce or use momentum, which can compromise form and increase injury risk. Extend your arms straight overhead, feeling a stretch in your shoulders and upper back, while keeping them relatively close together. Focus your gaze forward to help maintain balance and a neutral spine, avoiding looking down or to the sides. Land softly on each step to minimize impact and protect your joints, especially your knees and ankles.
