Barbell Step Up
The premise here is pretty simple. Using a Barbell that is perched on your shoulders, or using dumbbells that are held down at your side, you step up onto an elevated surface and back down again. Be sure to do the exercise with good form, though! Most people do not keep proper form when doing this movement, especially when they start getting tired.
To get the most out of the Barbell or Dumbbell Step Up, you need to keep good posture the entire time, keeping your head up and your back erect. Step all the way up onto the elevated surface with one foot, then the other, and then step back down with one foot, then the other. Alternate starting with your left foot then your right foot, and remember that the higher your elevated surface is, the more you will get out of the exercise!
