Step ups are a simple body resistance exercise that works muscles in the legs and buttocks. A step up targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, as well as the gluteal muscles in the buttocks. This is a good general lower body conditioning exercise and can be performed on our plyo box station on our Apollo or Helios multigym.
