DANIELLE'S COMMENTS: To intensify this move, hold a pair of dumbbells in your hands (5-15lb.s) and add 3 risers to each side of the step. When stepping back off of the step, go deep into the reverse lunge. Don't alternate. You will adequately stimulate the leg you are working by continuous contraction (stepping up).
