Bodyweight Poliquin Step from StepBox
The Poliquin step on a step box with the heel raised on a wedge: the free foot reaches forward and down past the edge as the standing knee travels over the toes.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on one leg on a step box, the heel raised on a wedge, hands on the hips.
Steps
- Bend the standing knee forward over the toes.
- Lower until the free foot touches the floor ahead of the box.
- Straighten back up; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Choosing a high box before the floor version is easy: start on the floor or a slant board. Knee drifting inward: track it over the middle toes. Heel slipping off the wedge: keep it planted on it.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
