Lateral Step-Up

How to do it

1. Stand side-on next to a step or box with your inside foot placed fully on top of it.
2. Brace your core and keep your pelvis level, avoiding any hip hike.
3. Drive down through the foot on the box to stand up tall, letting your trailing leg swing through without pushing off the floor.
4. Keep your working knee tracking in line with your toes, not caving inward, as your leg straightens.
5. Lower back down under control until your trailing foot lightly touches the floor.
6. Complete all reps on one side, then turn and repeat on the other side.
