The correct way to do it for proper development is to first make sure you double jut while your legs are still spaced apart unlike the video example shown. The pushing out to double palm should be simultaneous and end at the same time as your feet come together. Just by doing this alone you should be able to feel the test of both balance and rooting on your structure. The second part is to "allow" your body to gently lose it's balance backwards and "catching" your balance with that step before rotating 180 degrees ON YOUR HEELS. Just stepping back serves absolutely no developmental purpose whatsoever...

Good description and a good way to do it.
