Step-Up

Legs Intermediate

A functional single-leg move that mimics stair climbing to build quad and glute strength plus stability.

How to do a Step-Up

  1. Stand facing a sturdy chair, box, or step.
  2. Place one full foot flat on top of the surface.
  3. Drive through that heel to stand tall on top, avoiding a push off the back foot.
  4. Bring the trailing foot up to meet it or tap and hover.
  5. Step back down with control, leading with the same foot.
  6. Complete your reps, then switch the lead leg.
