Common mistakes
- Stepping so narrow that it becomes a shuffle instead of a wide, glute-driven side step
- Keeping the arms by the sides, which halves the heart-rate response
- Letting the knees collapse inward on each landing
Variations
- Add a double step to each side
- Raise the arms overhead instead of to shoulder height
