MODIFICATIONS: 1. Do fewer repetitions according to ability. 2. Omit an exercise you can’t or shouldn’t do. 3. The height of the step-up platform determines difficulty. Choose a platform height you can manage, without losing your balance. 4. Leave arms at your sides instead of raising them.
EQUIPMENT: A sturdy, heavy platform that won’t move during Step-Ups. Height determines difficulty.
