Technique
Setup
Sit on the edge of a step with your hands grasping the edge beside your hips. Extend your legs forward.
Movement
Slide your glutes off the step and lower your hips by bending your elbows to 90 degrees. Push back up to the start.
Form Tip
Keep your back close to the step throughout the movement. Flare your elbows backward, not outward.
Increase Difficulty
Elevate your feet on another step or place a weight on your lap.
Decrease Difficulty
Keep your knees bent and feet closer to the step to reduce the load.
