Pro Tip

Full Foot on the Step: Another common error is not placing the entire foot on the step. This can lead to instability and potential injury. Make sure to place your whole foot on the step, not just the toes. This will give you a solid base and allow for proper force distribution throughout the exercise. Control Your Movement: Avoid rushing through the exercise. It's not a race. Lowering yourself back down in a controlled manner will not only help to prevent injury, but also engage your muscles more effectively, thereby enhancing the benefits of the exercise.
