Step Up Exercise Height

Beginners should start with the unweighted step up.
Step up exercise height. Return your second foot to the floor followed by the first. Repeat with the opposite foot and then continue alternating. This exercise stepper is a relatively lightweight step and is easy to carry and store. It is often used in knee rehabilitation programs.
When you step up alternate your lead foot each time. Place one foot on top of the surface pressing into your heel as you step up. This workout step is priced averagely in comparison to others on the market. Make sure your foot is planted entirely on the step.
Easily adjust the height of your step from 4 to 6 to 8 with the four included risers. Aerobic steps and plyometric boxes can be used but one of the best units on the market for step ups is the c 206 leg platform by atlantis. This is done in the same way but with only your body weight. The height of the box and the goals of the lift can dramatically change the instruction and safety of the exercise.
When you re doing step ups keep your back straight and your abdominal muscles nice and tight. Start with a lower step height of 6 to 8 inches. With your hands at your sides and feet pointed straight ahead about hip distance apart simply step up onto the box with the right foot. Lift your body up onto the platform by tightening your glutes and your abdominal muscles.
Bring your other foot up to meet the first on top of the platform. It allows you to adjust the height from 10 inches to 34 inches in 2 inch increments to accommodate various strength and skill levels. If you are a beginner i suggest starting with a very low step 6 8 inches and work from there. Each riser measures 11 8 l x 3 9 w x 2 h.
It s fine to start with a low step height as well. The higher the step the more the hamstrings and glutes are worked. Focus on exploding up to the top and then controlling the lowering portion of the exercise on each rep. Gradually work up to a height that allows your thigh to be parallel to the ground when your foot is on the step.
Keep the right heel planted on the platform. For more variety you can mix up the speed of movement or box step height every 10 minutes. End by placing the left foot next to the right foot on the box.
