Bodyweight Alternating Step-ups
A unilateral lower-body exercise where you step onto an elevated surface one leg at a time, building leg strength, balance, coordination, and functional power without external weight.
Discover exercises for every goal — strength, endurance, flexibility, or fat loss.
How it works: Use the filters to find the right exercise for your equipment, skill level, and target muscle group. These exercises feature in our challenges, workouts, and workout plans - but we’ve also made them available for you to browse and learn from. They’re great for discovering individual exercises that target specific muscles or for finding effective alternatives.
A unilateral lower-body exercise where you step onto an elevated surface one leg at a time, building leg strength, balance, coordination, and functional power without external weight.
A glute-strengthening exercise performed with the upper back on a bench, driving the hips upward using bodyweight resistance to build glute power, hip stability, and posterior-chain strength.
A unilateral lower-body exercise with the rear foot elevated, emphasizing quad and glute strength, balance, mobility, and stability through a deep single-leg squat pattern.
A glute-focused exercise performed on the floor using bodyweight resistance to drive the hips upward, improving glute strength, hip extension power, and overall posterior-chain activation.
A unilateral glute-strengthening exercise that elevates one leg to increase demand on the working side, enhancing glute activation, hip stability, and single-leg strength.
A functional lower-body exercise involving stepping onto an elevated surface using only bodyweight, building leg strength, balance, coordination, and everyday movement power.
A core-stability exercise performed by holding opposite arm and leg extended while stabilizing the spine, emphasizing deep core engagement, coordination, and controlled anti-extension strength.
A core and hip-flexor endurance exercise performed lying on your back while rapidly alternating small leg lifts, targeting the lower abs, improving trunk stability, and building muscular control.
A glute-focused exercise performed with the soles of the feet together and knees open, emphasizing strong glute max activation, hip engagement, and fast-twitch posterior-chain work.
A posterior-chain exercise performed on the floor to lift the hips using bodyweight, targeting the glutes and hamstrings while improving hip strength, stability, and activation.
A core and oblique-focused exercise performed by reaching side-to-side to tap your heels while maintaining a crunch position, enhancing trunk stability, coordination, and abdominal endurance.
A core-stability and shoulder-control exercise performed in a high plank while lifting one arm forward, challenging balance, anti-rotation strength, and full-body coordination.
