Dumbbell step-ups for powerful glutes, thighs

The dumbbell step-up is a good alternative to squats for building glutes and quads.

Choose a sturdy box or bench approximately knee high. Stand slightly behind the box, holding a dumbbell in each hand.

Place your right foot on the box. Step up on the box by driving upward with your right leg.

During the step-up maintain an erect posture with back straight, shoulders back and head in a neutral position. Return to the starting position by stepping down from the bench using your right leg.

Repeat the exercise with the left leg.
