Step-up

The Step-up is a unique element designed for practicing single-leg squats, commonly known as “pistol squats.” The elevated platforms are also ideal for calf raises with added weight and other leg-focused strength and conditioning exercises.

In parkour, the Step-up serves as an auxiliary take-off point for approaching other obstacles and occasionally as a landing surface. It is often used in various parkour games where the athlete must traverse the entire training area without touching the ground. It is frequently incorporated into precision landing and stride techniques, especially in combination with surrounding walls.
