If you want a functional exercise that will strengthen your lower body and help you better prepare for everyday activities in life, look no further! Whether you are a hiker, a regular play timer with your kids or just want to integrate this into everyday life, then this exercise is one you won't want to miss out on. Start with your foot on about a knee level high box, adjust to your own comfort. You want to focus on driving the heel into the box so that we can activate the glutes as much as possible, and avoid any knee discomfort. So, take a step up onto the box, then controlling yourself slowly on the way back down. There ya have it, give a shot! You've got this! Looking for a personal trainer in the St. Louis area?
