Quick Lower Body Routine

The step your lower body routine is missing

How many times have I told ya’ll, you can’t skip leg day!  Ok probably never but let me share something I recently learned.

Working that lower body can be a nightmare.  Let's not get started on squats!

And if you also feel like you’re putting the work in without seeing the results you want…I have just the thing you may be missing!

 

Enter….Step-Ups!

 

All you need is a stair, a bench, or a sturdy box to gain some serious stability and strength! 

Step Ups are awesome because they activate your hamstrings and glutes, while also getting your cardio in!

 

1. Stand facing a step, chair, box, or bench. Place your entire right foot onto the step.
2. Shift your weight into your right foot to step up onto the bench. Bring your left foot up to meet your right so you are standing with both feet on the bench.
3. Return to the starting position by stepping down with the right foot, then the left, so both feet are on the floor.
4. Do 10 steps leading with the left foot, then 10 steps leading with the right foot. Do three sets.
5. If you’re feeling like you want be challenged, grab weights or a kettlebell to make it harder!
