Bodyweight Step-Up on Stepbox
The step-up onto a low aerobic step platform instead of a knee-height box; the short climb works the front leg through a small range.
How to do it
Setup
Standing in front of a low step platform, feet hip-width, arms by the sides.
Steps
- Place one whole foot on the step and stand up on it.
- Bring the other foot up beside it, then step back down leading with the same foot.
- Finish the set on one leg, then switch.
Common mistakes
Springing off the floor foot: the leg on the step does the lifting. Only the toes on the platform: set the whole foot down. Knee drifting inward on the way up: keep it over the toes.
Breathing
Exhale stepping up, inhale down.
