How to perform?

Step ups are a dynamic lower body exercise that engage the muscles of the thighs, glutes, and calves. This movement involves stepping up and down onto an elevated surface, such as a bench or a box, mimicking the action of climbing stairs. Step ups not only improve overall lower body strength, but also improve balance, coordination, and stability. This exercise is particularly beneficial for athletes who require explosive power and endurance, such as runners, basketball players, and soccer players. Additionally, step ups can be modified by adjusting the height of the surface or adding weights, making it customizable to various fitness levels and goals.
