Weighted Step-ups

Some of our exercises generate a lot of questions.  This one in particular led to a number of calls and emails.  Functionally, the weighted step-up resembles carrying weight up stairs, a skill you definitely want to maintain.  If you let people know you can move heavy weights up and down stairs, however, you WILL get called to help move heavy things, like bags of water softener salt or pianos!  (This is Salt Lake City, Utah after all.)  Perhaps we'll have a piano moving for time workout in the near future.  Anyone willing to donate a piano to the cause?
