STEPUP
Stepups can be an exercise you
can use to build muscle in the
legs or for improving function,
according to Layug. “Great
functional exercise for balance
and increasing strength that
mimics similar movements of
daily activities.”

Any athlete in the IFBB Pro League will tell you that symmetry is a must if
you want to be the last athlete standing. Layug is aware of this, which is
why she performs this movement for the entire thigh area. “It’s a great
exercise to improve strength for each leg, improving hip mobility, and it
puts less stress on your back. It builds and shapes great legs and glutes.”
