Question 1

how would one do this? 15 reps each leg?

Accepted Answer

I assume since it's been so long since you asked, that you've gotten an answer... Just in case though, yes each leg... What I found to be easier on counting in to switch legs like your body wants to normally and just count to double whatever your goal is... Example instead of trying to do right leg only 15x, count right leg1, left leg 2... Until 30, which is still only 15each leg, body and brain want to "step" normally though lol

Question 2

Question 3

Hard to control 😪

Accepted Answer

try doing these on a pull up machine . Step downs instead of step ups . Same muscles being worked out but it’s easier balance wise
