Exercise Step Up
What muscles does this exercise work?
That exercise where you step up onto a chair with one foot and step back down. I’ve been doing that 20 times on each side every day, and I assumed it would work a lot of the muscles in my legs, but only my butt is sore. Can I change that exercise so it works my legs too?
Yeah, that one works the butt muscles / upper thigh muscles/. For legs, thy these:
Standing, spread your legs past shoulder width. Squat down about halfway to the ground, adn come back up. It’s simple, but after a bunch of squats (and if you slwo it down) this til really work the front thigh muscles.
For calf muscles, simply go up on your tip toes, and go back down. Slowly. Not a bounce, but just a rise and fall action. After a while you will feel the burn. Clench your calf muscles and this will make it more intense.
For butt / thign muscles.. sit down and rest back on your elbows. Have one of your legs like this / and the other sticking straight, parallel to your thigh. Raise that straight leg (using your butt) up and down and you will feel it in your thighs, butt, and tummy.
I do these exercises alot, well… maybe not enough I guess, but it kind of works! I have a slender figure and am trying to build up some muscle for a little bit of curves.
Hope this helps!
