The Amazing Stickie has amazing balance because she works on it. Today she is working on it by doing single leg step-ups. Because Stickie has a stick version of everything, she is stepping up on a sturdy stick box. We can use a gym step, a sturdy bench, a step stool, or anything else that will not tip over and will support our weight. The higher the step, the more challenging the exercise. Stickie can also hold dumbbells in her hands to increase the difficulty if she feels like it
She begins standing in front of the step. She steps up with one leg, bringing the other leg to a position where her thigh is parallel to the floor. She can hold the balance for a moment or she can return directly to the floor. She can do all the reps with one leg and then repeat on the other side or she can choose to alternate; both ways are good.
Stickie likes to do sets of 30 per side.
