In reply to Samuel.

Yes, you should feel it especially in your thighs. If you don’t have the right chairs try lunges:

Am I supposed to feel stress in my legs when doing this because I did with weights but the problem is that I don’t have a high enough chair and all the chairs in my house are either too short or too high.

In reply to Miha. In my opinion, both work equally well. I mostly advise beginners to start with the lunges because it doesn't carry the risk of falling from a chair.

Great, I just happen to be looking for a subsitute to lunges (I feel they stress my knees, even without weights)

Q: Can step-ups be considered a good leg-workout exercise for a beginner, or do lunges provide more complete leg training? Thanks!

I was motivated to do a variation of this last Friday as my leg workout day! I worked them very hard. I was “rewarded” with a fearsome cramp in my left calf during the middle of the night that was quite exciting, lol!
