#Step Down Workout

𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 — 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧 Not all step downs are created equal. Different styles = different gains👇🏼 1️⃣ Patrick Step-Down Heel stays flat on the floor. Great for targeting the lower quads, stabilising the knee, and improving ankle range of motion. 2️⃣ Poliquin Step-Down Heel elevated with assistance. Focuses on quad strength + knee joint support. 3️⃣ Peterson Step-Down The most advanced. Emphasises balance and requires lifting the heel without assistance. 4️⃣ Backwards Step-Down Light toe tap behind you. Fires up glutes, quads, hamstrings and your core for balance. 5️⃣ Lateral Step-Down Step to the side, keeping hips level. Boosts knee and hip stability, plus strengthens hip abductors. 6️⃣ Curtsy Step-Down Add a diagonal reach behind. Glute stretch + next level balance and coordination. Pick the variation that supports your goals OR use them all 🔥 . . #fightingfitmanchester #legday #kneestrength #functionaltraining #mobilitytraining #stepdowns #movementquality

💥𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭💥 ——— 🔎The lateral step down can be useful both as an assessment of lower quarter control and as a prehab/rehab exercise. - 🧠In the traditional test, the individual places their hands on their hips and stands at the edge of a 20cm step. Then, they bend the affected knee until the heel on the other limb contacts the floor. Finally, they return to the start position and perform a total of five repetitions. - 👉Whether you are performing this as a test or an exercise, here are the items that would indicate a potential control issue: . 1️⃣Arm Strategy: removal of hand from waist 2️⃣Trunk Alignment: leaning in any direction 3️⃣Pelvis: loss of horizontal plane 4️⃣Knee: center of tibia medial to 2nd toe 5️⃣Stance: patient steps onto non-test limb . ✅If you want to test your control, simply have someone record your movement and review the results using the criteria above. If an issue is detected, this test can then be used as an exercise on your leg training day. •••••••••• 📚Reference: Rabin A, et al.

Step ups are out - step downs are in 🫡 Are you launching off your back leg and wondering why you don’t feel these in your glutes or quads? Try this: start at the top, step down with control, just tapping your toes, then drive through the heel of the working leg 🦵 Think “step down,” not “step up” and you’ll feel the difference immediately 🥵 #workout #workouttutorial #stepups #gymtips #gymhacks #lowerbodyworkouts #lowerbodyexercise #gyminspo #workoutinspo #fitnessmotivation #fitnessinspiration #gymmotivation #gyminspiration #fitness #gluteexercises #legday

Are you using step ups to grow your 🍑, but struggling to feel it in the right spots? Here are some common mistakes and how to fix them for maximum glute emphasis and control.✨ ⭐️ Hold the dumbbell in the same hand as the working leg. Use your opposite hand to hold onto a support if needed. ⭐️ Instead of keeping your posture upright and stepping vertically as you might the stairs, think of stepping up diagonally with your chest down in about a 45° angle. ⭐️ Manyyy people want to cheat themselves by kicking up off of the back leg or plopping back down. However, we want to work through that sticky point and strengthen the entire range of motion. Roll off of that back leg and return with control. You may want to lower the weight if you’re struggling to do this. Hope this helps someone’s battle for the glutes 🫶😆 Share + follow for more! #stepup #gluteexercises #glutegains #exercisetips #gymtip #gymmotivation #gymgirl #legday #gluteday #lowerbody #glutefocused

BOXER STEP TUTORIAL 🥊 This looks and feels very easy once you get it but I have to warn you that it is super tricky to get down. Be patient though because once you’ve got it you’ll find you can jump rope for longer due to its efficiency. It’s also normal to apply your own style to it so don’t worry if yours doesn’t look exactly like mine. You can choose your stance and transfer your weight in a way that works for you ☺️ • I’m using my Lauren Jumps X Dope Ropes beaded rope here which is what I recommend for beginners. Mat is also Dope Ropes.
