Dumbbell Step Ups - Functional Legs Exercise

Personal Trainer Michael Behnken, MS, NASM-CPT-PES, CSCS

Step ups are about as functional as any exercise can get.

As you perform the step make sure you have no lateral motion about your knees.

The step up motion teaches you to dynamically stabilize your legs while you work the major muscle group of your lower body.

Make sure you don't step up with your knees passing your toes.

Perform step ups with heavy weights at the end of your leg workout if you really want to test and improve the stability and functionality of your legs.

Step UPS Are important for any athletes who value the health of their knees.
