Aerobic Step Step Up High (alternating) Tips

  1. Start by placing the aerobic step in front of you, ensuring it is at a height that challenges you but still allows proper form. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, engaging your core muscles to maintain stability throughout the exercise.
  2. Step up onto the aerobic step with your right foot, pressing through your heel and engaging your quadriceps to lift your body up. As you step up, keep your chest lifted and your shoulders relaxed, maintaining a steady pace to maximize the engagement of your quads.
  3. As you bring your left foot up to meet your right foot on the aerobic step, focus on squeezing your quads to maintain control and balance. Feel the burn in your quadriceps as you powerfully push through your legs to lift your body up, emphasizing the engagement of these muscles.
  4. Step down with your right foot first, lowering your body back to the starting position. Control the movement and avoid simply dropping your foot down. As you step down, keep your weight evenly distributed and your core engaged to maintain stability and protect your knees.
  5. Repeat the exercise, this time starting with your left foot. Alternate between stepping up with your right foot and left foot, focusing on engaging your quads throughout the movement. Remember to maintain proper form, keeping your chest lifted, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged for optimal results.
