Bench alternating step ups

How to do it

1. 1 Stand tall, keep your hands at your sides and place a bench in front of you.
2. 2 Place one foot on the step and step up, pressing through the heel to straighten your leg.
3. 3 With your other foot in the air, bring the thigh of that side towards your chest by bending your knee and return to the starting position. Perform the same movement with the opposite leg.

Tips

• Keep your chest up and back straight.
• Do not rest the other foot on the step and place it on the ground after performing the movement.
• Maintain a smooth breathing rhythm throughout the exercise.
