#3 Side Step-Up
The side step-up is a wonderful aerobic exercise that not only improves the endurance but also activates the core and the inner thigh muscles. Also, with its simple motion, the exercise could be performed by beginners and casual trainers as well.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand beside a raised platform with your feet placed shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on the side, parallel to the body.
Step 2: Step on top of the elevated platform while maintaining a straight torso. Avoid swinging your arms while performing this motion.
Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times. Perform the same motion on the other side to train the other set of the inner thigh muscles.
Important tips: Increase the height of the elevated platform to tone the muscles with greater intensity. Hold dumbbells in both the hands for an increased challenge.
