Stepup

The step-up is a multi-joint, single-sided strength movement for the lower body with an emphasis on the quads, hamstrings, and glutes. The exercise will also improve core strength and stability.

    Stand tall behind a box. Put your hands on your hips and place one foot on the box.
  2. Step-Up
