How to do it
Plyo box step-ups are a great exercise for targeting the lower body muscles, particularly the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings, while also improving balance and coordination.
Start by standing facing the plyo box with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout the movement. Lift one foot and place it firmly on the top of the plyo box, ensuring that your entire foot is on the box. Push through the heel of the foot on the box and drive your body upward, straightening your leg and lifting your body onto the box.
As you step onto the box, drive your opposite knee upward, bringing it to hip height. Fully extend your hip and knee as you stand tall on the box, maintaining balance and stability. Carefully step down from the box with control, returning to the starting position. Perform the same number of repetitions on each leg to ensure balance and symmetry in your training.
