My clients regularly say things to me like, “Please teach me new, strange and more difficult exercises,” and, because I’m a very accommodating trainer, I comply. For example, this crossover step up is a recent favorite of mine, despite the fact that it is, indeed, awkward (made moreso if you use a higher step or platform). Moreover, not everyone’s knees, hips or ankles will put up with this exercise, so keep that in mind if you’re thinking of trying it. With that said, this is an excellent functional exercise.
By changing the direction of the , you get lots of great lateral movement with both internal and external rotation of the hips.
