Coach Peabody, counting

Step all the way up onto a step, then step back down.

Step-up

Move your own body · ages 5 to 14 · Counted in reps · 🤫 Quiet

How to do it

  1. Whole foot on the step, not just your toes.
  2. Stand all the way up at the top.
  3. Step down softly, don't jump off.
  • A step or a stair
  • Enough floor to lie down on, arms out.
  • One hand on the rail, and walk down, never run.

Watch out for this

Stand up with the leg on the step. Arms just swing.
Hauling yourself up with your arms on your knee.

Make it fit you

The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.

Easier

  • Use a lower step.

Harder

  • Go a little faster, and swap legs every time.

Sitting down? Press one foot hard into the floor, then the other, as if you were climbing.
