Sitting Side Step Tuck on a Padded Stool
Seated on the edge of a padded stool, lift one knee and carry that foot out over a dumbbell standing beside you, tap down past it and bring it back.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the front edge of a padded stool, hands on the seat beside the hips, feet down, a dumbbell standing on end beside one foot.
Steps
- Lift that knee toward the chest, leaning back a little on the hands.
- Carry the foot out over the dumbbell and tap the floor beyond it.
- Lift it back over and set it down; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Kicking the leg over: lift the knee first, then carry the foot. Slumping back onto the hands: sit tall with only a slight lean. Clipping the dumbbell: lift the knee higher before the foot travels.
Breathing
Exhale lifting the knee, inhale setting the foot down.
