Dumbbell Step Up

IntermediateDumbbell

A weighted step-up that loads the quads while also working the glutes. Holding dumbbells lets you add resistance without shortening your range of motion the way holding a bar to your chest might. A good single-leg strength and balance builder.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall with a dumbbell hanging at each side, palms facing in, feet hip-width apart.

  2. 2

    Face a plyo box, standing about 3 to 6 inches from it.

  3. 3

    Shift your weight onto one leg, lift the other foot, and plant it flat on top of the box.

  4. 4

    Keeping your torso upright, drive through that top leg to stand fully on the box, bringing the other foot up beside it.

  5. 5

    Reverse the steps to lower yourself back to the floor, then repeat.
