Step-up

Instructions

Stand with a bench or box in front of you, one foot on the floor and one on the bench, holding a dumbbell in each hand by your sides.

Transfer all your weight onto the front foot while stepping onto the bench.

Lower back down to the start and repeat.

Perform all reps on one foot, then the other, to complete a full set.

Top tip:

Add a little jump at the top for an extra challenge.
