Begin standing next to the step with one foot on top of the step.
Step 2
Step up sideways onto the platform by squeeze the butt muscles of the first leg, rather than jumping off with the floor foot. Follow through with the lifted leg, raising it up towards the chest before slowly lowering the leg back to the floor. Keep the shoulders back and the chest lifted, using your arms to generate some power if needed. Perform 15-20 repetitions per leg or see how many you can do in 60 seconds.
