Start standing in front of a sturdy bench or box, with dumbbells in hand. Step back into a reverse lunge, then directly into a step up on the bench driving the opposite knee up as you rise. Make sure not to use momentum, but actually think about pressing yourself up! Do all on one side, or alternate.

Weight Recommendations:

Beginner: Bodyweight only - 7lbs
Intermediate: 10-30lbs
Advanced: 35-65+ lbs

*Modification: use no weights, or break up the movement into 2 separates: reverse lunges first, then step ups!
