What should you do if the foot strap slips toward the toes during Short Box Round?

If the foot strap slips toward the toes during the Short Box Round, the best approach is to stop the exercise and adjust the foot strap for several reasons. Ensuring that the foot strap is correctly positioned is crucial for the safety and effectiveness of the exercise. When the strap is too close to the toes, it may not provide adequate support or resistance during the movement, which could lead to improper alignment or strain.

By stopping and adjusting the strap, you create a safe environment for the student to perform the exercise effectively. After the adjustment, asking the student to flex their feet will help to ensure that their feet stay engaged and in the correct position throughout the exercise, enhancing both performance and stability. This approach prioritizes proper form and safety over simply continuing the exercise, which could potentially lead to injury or ineffective practice.
