Aerobic Step Step Up (alternating) Tips

  1. Start by placing the aerobic step in front of you, ensuring it is at a comfortable height that challenges your quads without compromising your form. Remember, it’s better to start with a lower step and gradually increase the height as you build strength and confidence.
  2. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, engaging your core and maintaining a slight bend in your knees. This will help you stabilize your body and protect your joints throughout the exercise.
  3. Step up onto the aerobic step with your right foot, ensuring your entire foot is firmly planted on the step. As you push through your right heel, engage your quads by squeezing your thigh muscles and lifting your left knee towards your chest.
  4. Lower your left foot back to the ground, stepping down with control and maintaining a steady pace. As you repeat the exercise, focus on evenly distributing your weight between both legs to ensure both quads are engaged and working equally.
  5. Continue alternating your steps, always focusing on engaging your quads by driving through your heels and squeezing your thigh muscles. Remember to breathe deeply and maintain proper form throughout the exercise, keeping your chest lifted and your shoulders relaxed.
