Poliquin Step-Up
- 1 - Stand on a low box or step with one foot fully planted near the edge and the opposite leg hanging off the side or slightly in front of the step.
- 2 - Keep your torso upright, brace your core, and shift your weight onto the working leg without pushing off the floor with the other foot.
- 3 - Slowly bend the working knee, allowing it to travel forward over the toes while keeping the heel down and the knee tracking in line with the foot.
- 4 - Lower the non-working heel toward the floor in a controlled manner until it lightly taps or approaches the ground.
- 5 - Drive through the working foot to straighten the knee and return to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
- 6 - Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
