Learn how to do step-ups. Presented by Real Jock Gay Fitness Health & Life.
Benefits
The one leg step-up is a simple and effective leg exercise that strengthens leg muscles while building balance and leg-muscle control.
Muscles Worked
Legs
Starting Position
Stand facing a flat bench with your arms up at the sides of your head with elbows bent, your hands gently cupping the sides of your head, and your feet hip-width apart.
Exercise
1. From the starting position, step your left foot up onto the flat bench.
2. As soon as the left foot is on top of the flat bench, use the muscle of the left leg to bring the right foot powerfully up onto the flat bench.
3. As soon as the right foot is on top of the flat bench, reverse motion and bring the right foot back down to the floor. Leave the left foot up on the flat bench and perform an entire set with the left leg in the top position.
4. When you have finished a set with the left leg in the top position, reverse feet and repeat with the right leg in top position.
Dumbbell Variation
The dumbbell variation of the one-leg step-up is a more advanced version of the weights-free one-leg step-up. To do the dumbbell variation, simply hold the dumbbells in each hand at your sides with your palms facing inwards, then perform the steps outlined above.
