How To Use A Box Step Up Exercise To Strengthen Your VMO

Box Step ups can be one of the hardest exercises and movements to do when you have chronic knee pain. But getting this movement back is essential if you want to be able to walk up and down stairs with no problem, or play sports without the fear of injury or limitation. This exercise really highlights the difference in strength between the legs which is sometimes hard to detect in a squat.
Instructions:
1. Fix a theraband to a pole or have a friend hold a band while you tie the other end around your leg just under the knee.
2. Standing with good posture with one foot on a step box and your arms in a relaxed position.
3. Drawing your belly button inwards explosively step onto the box flexing your opposite hip to lift your knee up.
4. Pause then lower stepping backwards off the box.
5. Pause before repeating the movement
