Execution
How to do it
- 01
Stand facing a stable support, feet hip-width apart, hands resting on it.
- 02
Slowly rise onto the balls of your feet, knees straight.
- 03
Pause at the top.
- 04
Lower your heels slowly.
Common mistake
Bouncing at the bottom or rising too fast: keep the movement slow.

The decision
When this movement makes sense
It adds targeted work with little setup when the budget and the support allow it.
When this changes
Without a verified support, the movement is not proposed; the engine does not assume a wall or a piece of furniture will do.
