How to do it

  1. 01

    Stand facing a box or bench of an appropriate height with your feet together. This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    Begin the movement by stepping up, putting your left foot on the top of the bench. Extend through the hip and knee of your front leg to stand up on the box. As you stand on the box with your left leg, flex your right knee and hip, bringing your knee as high as you can.

  3. 03

    Reverse this motion to step down off the box, and then repeat the sequence on the opposite leg.

In the app

Step-up with Knee Raise needs no kit, so it appears whenever the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.
