The step-up is primarily a cardio move, though it also works your balance and coordination, and strengthens muscles in your lower half.
Are step-ups good for losing weight?
Repeat 3 times. Burn: Step-ups (literally what it sounds like—step up and down on a high bench with one leg) work your abs, glutes, and quads in one movement while improving balance and raising your heart rate.
How long should I do step-ups for?
Do 10-30 minutes of continuous alternating stepups. Focus on exploding up to the top and then controlling the lowering portion of the exercise on each rep. For more variety, you can mix up the speed of movement or box/step height every 10 minutes.
