Box Step-Up

Starting Position:
1. Stand facing the box with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Maintain a straight posture with your shoulders back and core engaged.
3. Place your hands on your hips or at your sides for balance.

Movement Instructions:
1. Lift your right foot and place it firmly on the center of the box.
2. Press through your right heel to lift your body upward onto the box. Focus on using your right leg to power the movement.
3. As you lift, bring your left leg up and place it next to your right foot on the box, standing tall.
4. Pause for a moment at the top to maintain your balance.
5. To return to the starting position, step back down with your left foot first, then your right foot, keeping a controlled motion.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips for Beginners:
- Start with a lower box to build confidence and strength.
- Focus on keeping your movements steady and controlled, avoiding any rushing.
- If you feel comfortable, you can challenge yourself by adding weights, such as dumbbells, held at your sides.
