3 ways to get a better butt blasting workout with step ups

1. Beginners can swing the non-working leg backward as you push your self upward with your working leg and once you've stepped up with the working leg - Squeeze the butt muscles of the non-working leg for 2-to-5 seconds and repeat 8-to-12 times on each leg.
2. Advanced can use dumbbells, weight vest, or a book bag filled with weights for added resistance for 8-to-12 reps.
