The step up is a functional lower-body exercise that builds strength in the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes while improving balance and coordination. By stepping onto a raised platform, it mimics everyday movements like climbing stairs, making it useful for both fitness and rehabilitation. It also supports joint health and stability in the knees and hips.
- Stand in front of the step with both feet together.
- Step up with one leg, followed by the other one.
- Step back down with the alternate leg (or as otherwise prescribed).
- Further directions may be progressed by your Physiotherapist.
