Description

Lie on the floor supported on your elbows with one leg bent, heels on the floor, the other remaining lifted. Raise your hips to align knees, hips and shoulders, then quickly bring the foot of the supporting leg onto a step placed in front of you. The movement should be performed in a dynamic and explosive manner. At the end of the movement, the leg is almost fully extended, the other remains in the air without touching the support, and the hips remain stable to maintain alignment between the ankle, hip, and shoulders. Return to the starting position and repeat.
