How To Do A Step Up Step Down Exercise Video Demonstration And Guide
The step up step down is a great exercise that primarily targets your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves.
To get started:
- With your arms by your side, step up with one foot onto a solid platform, such as a bench or box, that is approximately 2 feet off the ground.
- Press this same foot through the bench to straighten your leg, while lifting the other leg up.
- To work on balance, don’t allow your other foot to make contact with the bench.
- Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position onto the ground.
- Complete all the reps with one leg, then switch legs and repeat.
To make the step up step down move more difficult:
- Hold your arms parallel to the ground, straight in front of you.
- Hold a pair of dumbbells to your side.
