Parallel Bars Step Up Tips

  1. Start by placing your hands shoulder-width apart on the parallel bars, with your palms facing down.
  2. Engage your core and keep your shoulders down and back throughout the exercise to maintain proper form.
  3. Step up onto the bars, leading with your right foot, and push through your quads and glutes to lift your body up.
  4. Keep your weight centered and avoid leaning forward or backward to ensure maximum engagement of your leg muscles.
  5. As you step down, focus on lowering your body with control, using your quads and glutes to resist gravity.
  6. Repeat the exercise, alternating your leading foot, to evenly work both sides of your body and improve balance.
  7. For an extra challenge, try adding a knee lift at the top of each step-up to further engage your quads and glutes.
