Step-Up

Stand in front of a sturdy bench or box at knee height, hold dumbbells.

Place one foot fully on the bench, heel at the edge.

Push through the heel of your upper leg and step up until you stand upright.

Bring the other leg next to the working leg without using it for support.

Step back to the starting position in a controlled manner and switch legs.

Keep your torso slightly forward for more glute activation.
