Step-up: how to do it
1 of 3
Whole foot on the box
Starting position
Stand in front of a stable box with a dumbbell in each hand and place one whole foot on the box.
The movement
Press through the foot on the box and stand up fully, then step down slowly with the other foot first while the leg on the box controls the descent.
Most common mistake
Don't push off with the foot on the floor, let the leg on the box do the work and keep that knee in line with your toes.
