What It Is
Travels you across the floor one long step at a time. It builds leg strength and the balance you need for stairs and uneven ground.
How to Do It
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Take a long step forward and lower until both knees bend to about 90 degrees. Push off and bring your back foot forward into the next step. You need about 15 feet of clear floor. Switch sides each rep.
Skill Level
