anyone do step-ups in there leg routine?

they seem a little dangerous to me, but i guess as long as i start out light, that shouldn't be a problem..

well anythoughts??

yeah, I have done them a lot in the past, you can vary the height of the box depending on what you are trying to work, higher for hamstrings and lower for quads.

I also have done them overhead as a variation, and in a clean rack position.

During my hoop years I routinely took step aerobics classes.

I used to do them regularly. Then I stopped b/c squats would wipe me out and I'd be too dizzy to risk it! But thanks for giving me an idea on what to do while I lay off squats for a while (Heresy, you say! But I'm having some knee problems).

BTW -- I found step-ups to be good for the glutes, quads and to some extent, hams.
