Description

Stand on a step or a stair. Initiate the movement by gradually stepping down from the step, moderating the flexion of the knee of the leg you are exercising, while extending the other leg in front of you. When the heel of the extended leg touches the ground, step down completely from the step. Then, step back up and repeat the movement.
