Target Muscles: Quadriceps and Glutes
Bench Step Up Overview
This exercise targets the thighs and butts. It isolates the glutes and quads and can be an amazing addition to any type of workout routine. The equipment needed to perform this exercise is a medicine ball and a bench.
The quads are the muscles present in front of the thighs, while the glutes serve as a connecting point between the back muscle and joints. The purpose of this exercise is to tone and strengthen your glutes and butts.
