Squats and lunges have often been the first leg exercise of choice in
the fitness community.
Practically every workout video includes them
and so does every body pump class. These are actually technically
demanding, and there is also a danger of overloading the joints with
real beginners.
But how easy is a step-up? And here’s the best bit; you girls are
more likely to ‘tone your butt’ (not an expression I should be using)
with the step-up.
On lunges they keep telling us to have a 90 degree
bend at both knees but this can stretch the hip flexor (an already tight
area) excessively and cause a compensation at the back knee especially
if there is a lack of balance.
With squats, someone may be quad
dominant so nothing is working in the hip-area. Also, if we only go
down to parallel and pulse (like in bodypump) the knee really does not
like this.
Steps however are more of a single-leg exercise and
single-leg training has been proven to address knee-pain.
