How to perform Deep Step-Up

1. Stand facing a stable high box that lets you place your entire leading foot on top and begin with a deep hip and knee bend.
2. Place one foot on the box and shift your weight toward that leg.
3. Push through the planted foot and extend that hip and knee to raise your body, avoiding a jump from the trailing foot.
4. Finish standing on the box with your balance controlled.
5. Keep your leading foot planted while lowering the other foot to the floor, then step down and repeat with the opposite leg.
