    I suggest to those tripping over the step, just do basic left and right through the whole routine and watch it once or twice for entertainment before you try to do the routine. Before you can even be a beginner you have learn the height of your bench. Dana, thanks for a beginner workout that helped me pass the time so I wasn't looking at the clock every two minutes. You workout is timeless.

    I absolutely loved this routine! I've been doing step a long time, though. Please consider changing the title to Intermediate so it doesn't frustrate a beginner with the step being so high, the backward facing and power moves, and no aerobic cool-down. Please keep posting these awesome routines, too!

      CC Rozes hello there. I did step aerobics for a year and absolutely loved it but moved out of my old city to Atlanta, GA. A whole year now and I'm yet to find a step aerobics class near me. So you do this on your own at home? Does it feel same as a group or a lot more discipline is required? Thinking of getting my step and risers and just doing this at home. What do you suggest? I love this video. Can you recommend similar ones, please?

    • @bodyandsoul17
      @bodyandsoul17 7 лет назад +1

      Scentiments hi, I can relate. Once I started loving step, the classes started to disappear. It’s hard to teach and so not enough instructors- maybe consider getting qualified and teaching (which I’ve done)? Also, yes, I then work out with online classes or DVDs which isn’t as fun because it’s not social; however, you can get the same or better workout. I like Jenny Ford, Yvette Bachman, Tatiana Trevia’s channel (Portugués language, FYI), Fit Outside the Box, Nekea Brown, and CatheTelevision (Cathe Friedrich is my favourite, but you will have to pay for her full workouts - they’re worth it). Others I have on DVD, which might be online: Amy Bento, Patrick Goudeau, Sharon Twombly, Christi Taylor, & of course Gin Miller!
      Best wishes!

      Good morning and thank you so much for that long list of instructors to look up and try my step aerobics ar home.
      Wow! I never thought of getting qualified. Brilliant idea! Thank you so much. I will look that up but please share tips to your qualification: online or physical class, requirement, cost etc (my email is oluwaseun757@gmail.com), if you don't mind. I appreciate your help a great deal.

      Here is a good free video on how to structure a step class:

    Just like to contradict a few other people here and give cred to Dana. Used to do step a LOT in the 90s, havent touched it for probably 20 years. Was doing yoga but let that go as well - became flabby and unfit. This was definitely OK for this re-beginner - when I missed a step it was easy to keep walking and catch up again. Tried a different youtube class the second day and it was terrible by comparison. Dana's speech is clear, volume is good, beat is great, and she pre-announces the steps really well. I sweated heaps which is exactly what I needed. Thanks Dana :)

    • @jokirton
      @jokirton 6 лет назад +1

      I too did step 20 years ago. Now 76 and have no problem following. Just need to march in time as each is set is mastered. Just use feet and progress to hand movements later.

    THANK YOU!!! Now that we're quarantined at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, I've been looking for a step class online and have tried several of them. I tried yours for the first time today and LOVED it! I truly appreciate your clear and concise cues as well as the timing of your cues. Because of that, I was able to smoothly follow your routine without any hesitation. I also appreciate your choreography. The succession of steps flowed directionally which makes for a safe and fun routine. Thank you very much for making this available. I look forward to trying out some of your other routines.

      Hello. I agree this is a great class. I recently purchased a step for this routine and I can not wait to try it. I use to love these classes years ago. Any suggestions for a mat to use under the step? I forgot to order a mat.

    • @sewfun211
      @sewfun211 4 года назад +1

      @@nikic-h1902 Most steps have rubber on the bottom to keep them in place during use. However, a thin yoga mat may be place under the step if needed, but be careful not to trip on the yoga mat while moving around the step.

    Step Count: 3,650 / 2.2KM. Despite being a basic workout, this is very good. As an advanced stepper recovering from a calf injury, I thought it might help to start basic so as to work my way back into an intense routine gradually. But this workout is good enough to be pleasurable. A bit too short, maybe, but still enjoyable. Cueing is excellent. Well done, Dana. I hope to see more workouts like this extended to 45, 50 and 60 minutes. Thanks in anticipation.

  • @szendrich
    @szendrich 5 лет назад +1

    This was a fantastic workout. Pity it was only 30 minutes long. I like to alternate days with longer step workouts. Still, I absolutely loved this one. Thank you, Dana. In response to some of the comments here, I don't think this was inappropriate for beginners. I'm an advanced stepper in recovery from an injury and I found it to be simple, safe and excellently choreographed to warm the muscles well prior to intensive work. The routine was pretty simple, not high enough for intermediate but not simple enough for new steppers. I would say it's for established beginners who want a bit more challenge verging on intermediate. More by Dana would be most welcome, please. :)

    This is a really good routine takes me back to the 1980's. I use my step without a riser now but still only managed 18 minutes. I intend to persevere until I can do the 30 minutes. I would say if you have never done step before it is a bit challenging .

    I have 4 risers on each side and i just do basic step ups. 4 sets of 5 mins with breaks in between and I have really slimmed down. I do it while wearing stomach and thigh trimmers.

    • @szendrich
      @szendrich 5 лет назад +1

      4 risers on each side is unsafe for most routines but it's also bad for your knees. You need to be super tall for 4 risers, and a super advanced stepper. Even then I find it to be unsafe. Even 3 risers is too much and I'm quite tall. Best to stick to 2 risers and maybe add a third for more challenge for a short part of your workout. If you can't keep up with a new routine, try starting without any risers at all until you get accustomed to the new steps. Doing up-and-down steps only is very boring and you'll end up discontinuing your workouts. It doesn't challenge you after a while and you'll get fed up. :) Hope this helps.

      @davidrofulowitz7538 8 лет назад +4

      Agree also this is not for beginners....besides the music being too fast, when she comes off the step she is bouncing instead of the foot coming down and completely touching the floor. The second problem is she isn't using the mirror image technique, meaning that anything she does on her left leg you would actually do on your right leg, and vice-versa. I would recommend using Gin Miller's Step Reebok the Video-you will see the differences right away. Plus it's an easy to follow step workout for beginners too.

      Also, what I find funny in watching step videos like this is that the instructors are like wind-up toys, lol! Recently, I've also started working out to Susan Powter's (remember her? lol!) step videos: they are excellent and designed for all fitness level. Check it out!

      Eh, I've used this video since I've started, it's a little hard to follow at first, but if you keep at it you'll know the stuff in 2-3 times of going through the video. It's a bit hard and exhausting at first too, but thats where you just keep at it instead of going "its too hard". I think the first time I just did 10 minutes, then 15. And then the whole 30. Doesn't matter if you can't do it all at once, why would it? Just keep going instead of going "Ah, its too hard"
      And I'm not exactly a "fit" person either.

    Beginner?? Um, I don't think so! But I followed for the first 12 minutes and got the old heart rate up. Maybe need a Step for Dummies basic basic beginner video!

    Okay....so good. I wasn't the only one who was getting completely messed up. I know these steps are "beginner" steps but her movement is so fast. I couldn't keep up with the arms let alone the feet, LOL.

    I've never done step, so could anyone inform me about the benefits?
    What areas of the body does this most affect?
    Does it burn a lot of calories and is it better say from the mini stepper machine?
    Thanks in advance and sorry for bad English.
