[quote=Ruthie;507070]I am using a high step with 5 risers under it. Do you mean, not actually putting my resting leg on the floor at all? I only just touch down with the toe.

Is this the way it should be done, with toe just touching the floor. I bring my resting leg completely down on the floor, pause and then lift again. I find it easier to concentrate on using my working leg this way.

I also tried again tonight using a higher step, the second step on a stairway, which puts my thigh at about parallel to the floor and there is no way I can get my working left to lift me up on this height w/o at least pushing a little bit with my toes of my resting leg. I really don't see how I will ever be able to do it.....
