How to do small box steps

  1. Set

    Stand tall with feet together and arms relaxed. Clear enough floor space for four small steps.

  2. 1

    Step forward, then sideways to the next corner of a small square. Let the other foot follow.

  3. 2

    Step back, then sideways to complete the square. Keep your chest forward and feet uncrossed.

  4. 3

    Bring your feet together and pause.

Take care. Use a small, comfortable range and light effort. Stop if you feel pain.
