Barbell Step Up Balance

Begin by standing in front of a sturdy box or bench that is about knee-height, holding a barbell across your upper back and shoulders, using an overhand grip. Place your right foot on the box and push through the heel to lift your body up and onto the box, keeping your left foot off the ground. Step back down with your right foot, lowering your left foot to the ground.
