So I've been doing the step-ups in NROL4W. I started with bodyweight, and used 5lb DBs in yesterday's workout. How do I prevent myself from using my back leg to cheat? I tried to scrunch my toes and it helped a little... but not much. I also tried to look up videos of correct form and in every single one I found, the person was obviously using their back leg to get up on the step. Any ideas how to not cheat? I know it seems like a silly question...
