Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Jump Step-Up.
An explosive plyometric exercise that combines a step-up with a jump, driving one leg up onto a box or step and then jumping off to switch legs. It builds lower-body power, coordination, and cardiovascular endurance simultaneously.
The Jump Step-Up is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
