Dumbbell Step-Ups

  • Find a sturdy bench, coffee table, wooden box, or kid's chair that, when you place your foot squarely on it, your knee is at about a 90-degree angle or larger.
  • Hold a dumbbell in each hand by your side.
  • Step up onto the chair and lift your right knee forward and up.
  • Lower the right foot back to the ground, landing softly.
  • This counts as one rep.
  • Step up onto the chair and lift your right knee forward and up.
  • Do as many reps as you can for 40 seconds, alternating which leg you step up with each time. Rest for 20 seconds.
