Step ups with a leg raise

How to do it: 
• Do 10 step ups for each leg (20 step ups in total)
• You'll need a bench or something similar for this exercise
• You’ll work out your upper legs and abs as well
 



Things to pay attention to:
• Your back should be straight
• Watch your stability, it’s a very challenging exercise. To stay as stable as possible, contract your abs and glutes
• After you have placed your foot on the bench, push off your heel as you are straightening it and raising the other leg
• When you raise the other leg, make sure that you raise it as high as possible (ideally, your thigh should be parallel to the ground or 90 degrees to your body)
• When you go down, do it as slowly as possible (under control, don’t just "drop" your leg)
