Step ups, good leg exercise?

[betsie2k]

I was at the gym today.

The squat rack is unreliable/broken.

So I do alternative leg exercises. Lunges, single legged dumbell squats etc.

I wondered if dumbell step ups are any good? - Stepping up onto the average size chair with dumbell in each hand.

Or are they a bad movement.

good movement, if you can force yourself not to cheat. Alot of people use the non working leg alot and kick off at the start.

Step-Ups are a great exercise. As Karky said, make sure that you form is good. It is easy to cheat.

I'd never hire an assistant with a mouth like yours. I don't care how good the sex is.

 

[Karky]
