Dumbbell Step-Over
Holding dumbbells, step over a box one leg at a time, alternating the leading leg.
How to do it
Setup
Dumbbells at your sides, a low box in front.
Steps
- Step onto the box with one foot and drive up through it.
- Step down on the far side with the other foot.
- Turn and come back leading with the other leg; alternate.
Common mistakes
Pushing off the floor leg: the leg ON the box does the lift. Knee caving as you rise: track it over the toes. Leaning on momentum: quiet, controlled steps.
Breathing
Exhale stepping up, inhale stepping down.
