Scissor Step-ups

  • Use a step or bench that is approximately mid-shin to knee height.
  • Put your left foot on the step, with your right foot on the floor and your arms at your sides.
  • Then push down with your left leg and drive your body upward rapidly, switching support (hopping) from left foot to right foot as your body reaches its maximal vertical height.
  • With your right foot supporting your body, lower the left foot to the floor rapidly but under control.
  • Repeat this action continuously, back and forth from foot to foot, without pausing at the top or bottom positions.

  • The photos above and various leg exercises were taken from “Celebrity Body on a Budget”, which will be available on March 1st, 2010 at www.sportsworkout.com and bookstores nationwide.
