How To Do A Dumbbell Step Up Correctly
The Dumbbell Step Up Kickback is an exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.
By adding in the kickback movement, it fires up the glutes even more.
To get started:
- Stand in front of a step or bench holding a pair of dumbbells.
- Place one foot on top of the bench and press down with your heel to lift your body up until your planted leg is straight, while also extending your back leg behind you and contracting your hamstrings and glutes.
- Without placing your second foot on the bench, slowly lower your free leg back to the ground.
- Keep your planted foot pressed into the bench, and repeat with the same leg.
- After you’ve completed the reps with one leg, switch legs and repeat.
