Score: Total Reps of Step Ups ONLY
Goal: Choose a height that is challenging but allows you to get 12+ Step Ups each time!
NOTES:
This one can literally be done ANYWHERE! As long as you can find a random coffee table, bench, or ottoman to step on - you've got your workout!
You may choose what you want to do for the first part. So you can jog, bike, row - or do mtn climbers or jump rope!
Make sure you move for the full minute at an uncomfortable but sustainable pace!
For the step ups make sure that you are comfortable with stepping up and down. Alternate feet with each step.
Make sure you place your whole foot on the step and drive through the heel to stand completely on top. Don't allow the working knee to cave in as you stand.
If you absolutely have nothing to step up on you can sub single leg deadlifts or lunges!

You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping forward and up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Option to
