Because Step-ups involve hip extension, it is a good
exercise for hamstrings as well as glutes and quads.
A barbell or dumbells can be used for
this exercise.
Stand close to a raised platform or sturdy box and
step-up.
Minimize forward lean as much as possible,
try to move up, not forward. Do all reps of a set
with one leg first and then switch to the opposite leg
to complete the set.
