The Secret to Losing Fat and Toning Your Backside

If these beginner step-ups are too simple for you, consider an intermediate or advanced variation:

• Find a step or a bench that, when you place your foot squarely on it, your knee is at a 90-degree angle or larger.
• Step up 20 times leading with the right foot, then the left, bringing both feet completely onto the bench.
• To return to the starting position, lead with the right foot to step down to the floor, then the left, until ending with both feet on the ground.
• Switch legs and start stepping with the left foot for 20 steps.
