Lateral Step Ups

To perform lateral step-ups, stand next to a bench or elevated platform. Place your right foot on the platform, ensuring your knee is aligned with your ankle. Push through your right heel to lift your body up, bringing your left foot up to join the right on the platform. Step back down with your left foot, followed by your right. Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps, then switch sides. Keep your core engaged and maintain a controlled movement throughout.
