More Stepping stuff

So over the past month I've been focusing on stepping forwards.

Firstly I've been making sure I don't just put the heel down and transfer the weight immediately. I put the foot down without any weight to ensure it's safe to transfer the weight. I may also want to pick the foot up to step elsewhere without lurching backwards to do so or execute a kick.

This means staying on the supporting leg a little bit longer. 

Secondly I step with the ball of the foot almost touching down before the heel and foot rest on the ground. The image I have is a swallow swooping down but very gently.
