| Step-Ups | The step-up is a simple but effective exercise primarily targeting the lower body, particularly the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings. It mimics the motion of climbing stairs, making it functional and beneficial for daily activities.
Step 1: Stand facing a sturdy bench, step, or box. Choose a height that allows your knee to be at roughly a 90-degree angle when you place your foot on it.
Step 2: Place one foot fully on the platform, ensuring your whole foot is stable.
Step 3: Push through your heel to lift your body up until your standing leg is straight. Avoid using your back leg to push off; focus on the working leg.
Step 4: Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position, keeping control and balance.
Step 5: Complete the desired reps on one leg, then switch to the other leg.
With regular practice, step-ups can enhance leg strength, functional movement, and cardiovascular health, making it a great addition to any workout. | | Explore More Fitness |
