Stepdown Squat

Standing on a low step and lowering one leg down to lightly tap the floor before returning to standing works the quads through a controlled eccentric on the way down. It's a gentler alternative to a step up, since the working leg only has to lower and reverse the body rather than lift it from a dead stop.
