How to do it

Setup

Bells at the sides, stand tall.

Steps

  1. Step back into the lunge, bells hanging.
  2. Keep the front shin near vertical.
  3. Drive up and return the leg; alternate.

Common mistakes

Bells pulling the shoulders down and forward: blades set, chest tall. Rushing the alternation: full stand between reps. Short steps: long and quiet.

Breathing

Inhale stepping back, exhale rising.
