Verdict: The Step 360 engages your core by forcing you to balance during these exercises. It is easy on your knees since the Step 360 bounces with you. The workouts and the Step 360 are constructed so that they could work well with other Spri products, making the workout possibilities practically endless.

FTD Tips:

• Warm up: the most important part of the workout. Do it for 5-10min depending on your level of flexibility, level of strength and how long you’ve been working out.
• Stability Phase: this is really good for those who are just starting out and are trying to get their core centered.
• Balance Phase: make sure you’ve mastered the Stability Phase of the Step360 program so that your form is good. Watch your lower-back and always keep your core engaged.

• Great on the knees because the Step360 bounces with you.
• Side handles allows you to do a lot of hand exercise on the ball.
• Forces you to engage every muscle in your leg.

As always, work within your abilities, do what is comfortable to your body.

• **Key with lunges: keep knees at 90 degrees and make sure your knees do not go over your toes.
