Exercise Profile

Aerobic Step Hip Drop Overview

The aerobic step hip drop workout is a dynamic exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps.

The aerobic step serves as a platform to elevate the body, intensifying the engagement of the quads.

By performing hip drops on the step, the quads are worked through a full range of motion.

While the workout may also engage other muscles, the focus remains on developing the quadriceps strength and endurance.

Aerobic Step Hip Drop Instructions

  1. Stand facing the aerobic step with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Place your right foot on the step, ensuring your entire foot is firmly planted.
  3. Step up onto the step with your right foot, straightening your leg and lifting your body up.
  4. At the same time, drop your left hip down towards the ground, keeping your left foot on the floor.
  5. Lower your right foot back down to the starting position, returning to a standing position.
  6. Repeat the movement, this time stepping up with your left foot and dropping your right hip down.
  7. Continue alternating sides, stepping up and dropping your hip down with each repetition.

Aerobic Step Hip Drop Tips

  1. Position yourself in front of the aerobic step, ensuring it is at a height that challenges you but still allows you to maintain proper form. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, engaging your core for stability.
  2. As you step up onto the aerobic platform with your right foot, focus on keeping your weight evenly distributed between both legs. This will help you engage your quads effectively, maximizing the benefits of the exercise.
  3. Once your right foot is firmly planted on the step, gently lower your left foot down to the ground, allowing your hip to drop slightly. This controlled movement engages your quads as you work to stabilize your body.
  4. As you lift your left foot back onto the step, concentrate on pushing through your heel to activate your quads even more. This deliberate action not only strengthens your leg muscles but also helps improve your balance and coordination.
  5. Continue alternating between your right and left foot, maintaining a steady rhythm throughout the exercise. Remember, it’s important to listen to your body and start with a comfortable pace, gradually increasing the intensity as you become more confident and comfortable with the movement.
