How to Do

How to Do Stutter Step Shuffle Lateral

The stutter step shuffle lateral should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.

If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the stutter step shuffle lateral.

Beginning

Beginning Stutter Step Shuffle

1. Maintain good posture throughout the exercise with shoulder blades back and down, and good stability through the abdomen.

2. Begin with a thorough dynamic warm up before starting this exercise; this engages the nervous system.

Movement

Stutter Step Shuffle Movement

1. This exercise involves quick footwork movements using the step.

2. Initially choose a step height that is low (no risers).

3. To begin, you are parallel with the bench to one side of you (as shown).

4. The footwork pattern will be identical to the original exercise, however you are moving sideways (frontal plane) instead of forwards / backwards (sagittal plane).

5. The pattern will be: up, step, down, step.

6. Pay close attention to the video link to observe sequence - because in time the foot pattern is performed very quickly.

7. You can be timed to see how many you can do in a given time.

8. Perform exercise for given time and switch sides.

9. The test should be terminated if you notice any of the following observations: repeated tripping on the step, loss of balance, pain of any sort, rolling of ankles, dizziness, shortness of breath, and / or numbness in the arm or jaw.
