Step ups strengthen the muscles of the hip and thigh, and can help to improve your ability to walk and climb stairs.
Stand at the bottom of a step with the bannister, a hand rail or a chair nearby for support.
Place your right foot on the step, move up and then step up with the left leg.
Step back down with the right leg, followed by the left.
Repeat this exercise, then change to lead with the left leg and repeat the sequence, continue on for the required amount of time.
