How to do it

Control the descent for two seconds to keep the band tension steady.

  1. 1

    Secure a band under your foot and hold the other end with both hands at shoulder level.

  2. 2

    Step onto an elevated platform with one foot, pressing through your heel to lift your body up.

  3. 3

    Step down with the same leg and repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.

Expert tip

Keep your chest up and core engaged to maintain balance throughout the movement. Drive through the heel of the elevated leg to maximize glute activation.
