Thank you. 24 seconds, just simple and to the point. Another video by someone else was over seven minutes, I clicked back and found you. Thanks again.

This looks like a great way to build leg strength. I love incorporating step-ups into my routine.

This is just cardio if you're doing it the way he demonstrates, a key point of the exercise is your supposed to lift yourself onto the box, not kick off with the back foot like he does. That's also why you alternate legs during sets not during reps. Easy Que to fix this is for starters begin with your non dominant leg, do as many reps as you can (with good form, you can really mess yourself up if you get sloppy doing balance work with weights/heights) then switch to dominant once rested for next set and limit yourself the same amount of reps your non dominant side was able to do (this prevents the muscle imbalance), also toe touch at bottom instead of landing on your heels, that'll slow the eccentric (lowering yourself is half the exercise) and prevent you from cheating with a kicking off on the concentric. spoilers you're going to have to use less ego, aka less weight or lower box height since doing the exercise properly is harder.
