Description:
  1. Select a step height that allows for proper neutral lower kinetic chain posture (i.e. the knee should not move valgus and the opposite hip should not drop).
  2. Stand behind box.  Place one foot on box.  Initiate movement be pulling up (gluts, hamstrings) with the upper leg.  Do not push off with lower leg.
  3. During mid step up when the lower leg is off the ground engage glut med, QL and intrinsic core to keep your hips and shoulders level with horizontal plane.
  4. Finish movement with two feet on top, full knee extension and quad engagement.
  5. Reverse slowly and in control maintaining the postures discussed above.  Either alternate legs or complete one side first and then switch.
