Ski Step
Step one foot forward and the other back into a short split, then pass through standing and split the other way; the low-impact cousin of the scissor jump.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet together, hands on the hips.
Steps
- Step one foot forward and the other back, knees soft.
- Bring them back together under the hips.
- Split the other way next, in a steady rhythm.
Common mistakes
Splitting so wide the hips drop: a short split keeps it quick. Torso leaning forward: stand tall over the hips. Scuffing the feet: lift them just clear of the floor.
Breathing
Steady with the steps.
