  2. Place your right foot on the step, ensuring your entire foot is in contact with the surface.
  3. Engage your core and push through your right heel to lift your body up onto the step, bringing your left knee up towards your chest.
  4. At the top of the movement, perform a bicep curl by bending your elbows and bringing the dumbbells towards your shoulders.
