When performing the lateral step-up, you will be using the quadriceps and knees, glutes and hips, and hamstrings. Most of the lower body will benefit from this exercise.

What is Lumbar and hip extensions and lateral flexion of the lumbar spine?

Lumbar and hip extensions are movements that involve arching the lower back and pushing the hips forward, which engages the muscles in the lower back and buttocks. Lateral flexion of the lumbar spine refers to bending the spine sideways, targeting the muscles along the sides of the lower back and waist. These movements are commonly incorporated in exercises to strengthen the lower back, core, and hip muscles.


Which type of muscle helps you move your jaw to chew food?

The upper jaw is attached to the skull and therefore can not move. It is the lower jaw that is able to move. Several muscles are involved, sometimes working together to cause the desired movement. The jaw can move in primarily three motions, down or open, up or closed, and laterally to the right or left. The muscles used to close the jaw are primarily the two Masseters, the two Medial Pterygoids, and the two Temporalis muscles. The Lateral Pterygiod muscles work with the Medial Pterygoid muscles on the same side to move the jaw laterally to the right or left, and if both Lateral Pterygoid muscles are contracted simultaneously, the lower jaw slides forward protruding the chin. The anterior fibers of the Temporalis also help in protruding the jaw and it's posterior fibers pull it back. Opening the jaw is a bit more complicated. The primary muscles used are the Digastric muscles. What complicates the situation is that they pull off the hyoid bone. The hyoid bone is stabilized by the Sternohyoid, Stylohyoid, Omohyoid, Thyrohyoid, and Mylohyoid muscle pairs. Without stabilization of the hyoid bone, the Digastric muscles could not work, so, indirectly they are involved in opening the lower jaw. When opening really wide, the Lateral Pterygoids pull the jaw forward in addition to the rotation caused by the Digastrics.
