I am 46 and have been doing step aerobics for maybe 2 years but I’d been doing some strength training for 2 years before that. I could do intermediate to advanced but I’ve had some medical setbacks recently and started back with basic without a step. I appreciate that you cover all fitness levels and the variety in your workouts. I know I’ll get back to my previous fitness levels but for now, I need to listen to my body and take it at a slower pace and lower impact. Thanks for all you do!
This was fun. I’m 66 years old and have been doing step aerobics for over 35 years it is my favorite aerobic exercise and it works my brain too. Bring on basic intermediate or advanced I love them all and it truly does get easier with practice. Think with your feet and it becomes second nature those 8 counts get into your brain!! ❤
Love all your step workouts but I do like doing a shorter basic routine on strength days. And all the cute curls made me smile throughout! I’m 68 & have done step aerobics since Gin Miller invented it!🥰
I'm 62 and have been doing step for about 30 years. I love all your step classes and sometimes it is nice to slow things down and keep it simple. Thank you for the variety of your step classes, love it!!
I am 61, have not done step in years until I found Chris 2 years ago. Now I am doing strength training with Chris and love it. Thanks so much for kind loving spirit.
Following the routine this week, Step DONE! I'm 45 I started doing step in 2004 and continued thru 2009 fairly consistently at a gym 2x a week and fell COMPLEATLY IN LOVE with it. I had my 1st baby in late 2009 (still did step through out my pregnancy) I went back for a bit after she arrived but eventually stopped the gym membership. Over the next 5 years I had 2 miscarriage's and 2 more babies. I found an old step at a thrift shop and have found & own a few step VHS and DVD's but they were not great. I never loved them. Found you in Oct of 2023 and have been doing your step video's since. I LOVE them just as much if not MORE than gym step! I feel lucky and blessed to have found you and have told so many of my friends about your channel!
Hello from Uruguay! Thank you so much for the step choreographies. I have a lot of trouble with coordination and, obviously, have been avoiding any kind of training that involves this type of skill. However, I've read that activities involving coordination are crucial for maintaining brain health, especially at my age (57). Therefore, I decided to tackle this unfinished business again, something I had tried before but without good results. Your videos let me pause, rewind, and replay any class as many times as I need. Things seem to be changing... and I'm making great progress! 🧡💛💚💙
Hey ya I've just turned 50 and I'm slowly getting back into step. It would be rude not to seeing as I got a step platform for my birthday in January. I look forward to doing step. I even do it outside on a nice day 😊
I totally love this basic walk. I practiced my ‘listening’ skills without staring at the tv screen. I will be 68 in 19 days and I am having a blast! Thank you, Chris! ❤️
I’m turning 80 in August! Started stepping with Jane Fonda & Gin Miller & Gilad! Have stayed with step all these years. I never did care for advanced step but trade days on basic & intermediate classes. Rock on 🤘
I’m 54. I did step back in the early 90s but have only been back stepping for the last 6 months or so. My hubby found a step at an estate sale for $1 and was kind of joking when he asked if I wanted it. I was so excited! I found you, Chris, and have not looked back! I love it more now than I did then. Your enthusiasm and encouragement are just the best!! You keep me determined to improve!
I really enjoyed this basic step today! It was constant state cardio for 25 minutes. I have been exercising since July 2009. I’m 47 going to turn 48 in August. Thank you so much!
I’m 56 and been doing step since around 1992? Many years. Love it! After swimming it’s my favorite cardio!! Menopause has been kicking my ass lately but I’m so happy for these short and not-too-intense workouts when I feel up to it. Did this after work today and was perfect for me. Used a step with one riser and took a water/walking break around 15 minutes in. I love your encouragement Chris. You never make me feel bad for taking a break when I need to take care of myself instead of pushing needlessly. You’re right exercise should be fun and nothing to get stressed about missing steps, falling behind or struggling with the choreography! Have fun everyone! I’m totally uncoordinated and after all these years of practice can easily follow Chris she’s such an excellent teacher! 👋🇨🇦🥰🏃🏼♀️💕💪💕
Been doing step since my 20’s. I’m nOw 56 and have been stepping with you since March 2020!!! I love all your workouts and now I don’t have to leave my house!!!
I’m 69. Used to do step a long time ago. Since Covid I’ve been doing RUclips and loving the freedom and variety (and not getting dressed or brushing my teeth haha). Just bought my own step because this is the best cardio I can find!
I'm 58 and really enjoyed this Step routine. I haven't done much stepping in many a year but you brought it back! I'm having fun working towards a fitter me!
So happy I was able to join live step again, I really loved this ! Simple moves and I put my risers on and got my heart rate up there! I’m 50 and seriously in best shape because of your workouts , especially strength training, thankyou Chris 🤗 Cardio and step is more fun for me but I also love the feeling of getting stronger!
Hi Chris, I‘m back to leave you a comment. This was a realy good workout today, not to fast, not to hard, perfect for my sore legs😇(too much via ferrata climbing yesterday) So you asked us to tell you about how old we are and how long we are doing steps. Well, I‘m 39 years old and I‘m doing step classes about 15 or 16 years (not continuous, cause beeing pregnant for twice and beeing a mommy doesn‘t come easy to me). In October 2023 I found your RUclips channel and now I belief in warm-up, cardio, strengh and stretch💪🧘♀️ Thank you so much for all the things you give, it feels so good to me❤️
This was a really fun, quick, sweaty workout! I am 42 and have been doing step for about 25 years (but not consistently). I am so glad I found your channel because it has helped me rediscover how much I love step ❤ thanks for all your amazing workouts!
Easy going but I honestly tought that it was more difficult going slow compared to fast. Made me think of all the moves, I didn’t rush into it. It was a great workout for starting the week. Thank you Chris! ❤
54, doing step for a year and a half with you, also did it in my 20s and early 30s. Love the fun and variety of your classes❤. Keeps me motivated & I am never bored when I work out with you.
Just what I needed this morning! Thank you Chris! I am 60 years old. Started step Reebok when it came out as I worked there in IT from the late 1980s until 2001. Have absolutely loved rediscovering it with you!
I’m 55 and have been doing step since early 90.s. When my children were young in early 2000’s would go to same step class with a group of women for 9 years! I was totally a cardio queen, now love to do strength training! We called ourselves the “step sisters” our instructor was a trained dancer so lots of fun moves. Love your class, it brings me back to those years with my Step Sisters. Nice to go a bit slower today. ❤️🌷
I greatly enjoy stepping with you! I have just started working out after years of dormancy. Your videos and instruction makes it fun and challenging for a 60-year-old! Thank you so much for sharing this gift!!
I'm turning 65 in October. I used to teach step in the late 90s and early 2000's. However, taking time to raise two boys took my focus off my fitness. I discovered Chris 's channel in 2022 and slowly started my return to fitness. I purposely stayed away from step. I was afraid that I would no longer love my old friend. Finally, I decided to start back. I ordered a new step from Amazon and looked at it for about a week, avoiding it and telling myself, "maybe tomorrow ". Finally, I decided to go for it. It was not love at first step, but I have kept at it. I 'm not sure if I will ever be an advanced stepper who breezes through the Saturday classes, but I 'm ok with that! I just want to have fun, sweat, and enjoy another form of staying young at heart❤ Thanks again Chris for sharing your gifts with us !
I’m a fast basic girl but it’s a nice change of pace to slow things down once in a while. I used two risers and got a good sweat going. I’m 40 and I’m in better shape now than I was in my 20s thanks to CDorner fitness. I have been stepping with you for two years and I love it! Thanks Chris! - Kat W
Love the different levels so I can change up between one and two risers! I just turned 58 and stepped for 12 years between 1990-2002 and loved it. I thought step had gone away (no more good videos) until I found you 9 months ago. You have brought joy back to my life with your step classes. Thank you so much for all that you do!
Did this after the Thighs workout. I’m 43 and just started stepping in February. Fast Basic is my favorite but today I decided to do this routine to get a little more work in. Chris… I really enjoy your workouts and have been tell anyone who asks me what exercises I’m doing to check out your channel!
I'm 59 will be 60 in a few months and I've been doing step for a year usually twice a week. I weight train 5 days a week and have been doing that for 16 years as well as stretching and mobility and I have to say it changed my life. I have osteoarthritis and Ehlers Danlos Sydrome and I don't think I'd be as healthy and mobile as I am if I didn't do these things. You're never too old to do some kind of exercise and as the years roll along you just have to learn to adapt and adjust your routine. Thank you so much for all of your classes, I love them!!
I’m 57 and have been stepping for two or three months. I used to do it in my teens and twenties. I love how many workouts you have, and I love that I don’t feel like I’m being yelled at! Thanks for the positivity and encouragement! ❤
I am 55 and I used to do step a long time ago, maybe in the 90's. I did it today without a step cause I don't have one, I def needed beginner to get the moves. Tried a harder step workout last week, I did ok. Today was better 😊❤
I am 67 and just recently rediscovered step aerobics. It is my favorite cardio, and I am so happy to have found it again. I even bought myself a new step to celebrate!
Doing this with the afterparty from the UK. I am 62 and started step about a month ago. Thank you! Already feeling the difference but boy do I get hot!!
I’m 63 and found your channel at the start of this year. Hadn’t done step before and was like 😮 but stuck with it and am now doing “some” more advanced steps. It was good to do this basic step today as i was using it to up my step count after doing one of your strength workouts (see i listened 🤭) so grateful i found you 💜
I am 56 and have been doing step for 31 years. I LOVED this workout. It felt like I was in a group fitness class without the judgement. It was fun, and yes, I was smiling!
52 Years young. I WO with a step w/Chris on the basic classes - basic to intermediate I do the class on a mat until I feel comfortable then will progress to a step. Used to do step in my 20's - only getting back to enjoying because of Chris and her Channel/Program. 🖐Aussie Sally
I’m 67 and have been doing step since l wasin my late 30”s. added strength training, serious strength training in the last 2 years. Been following Chris for 3 years. Thank you!
I’m 66 pushing 67. I’ve done some step off and on for about 15 years. But I didn’t catch on to a lot of intermediate steps till I found Cdornerfitness last year. Thank you Chris!!! I’m just a basic- intermediate stepper. But weights are my favourite workouts though. 🇨🇦
I am 69 years olds and was an avid stepper a few decades ago..lol. I retired about 5 years ago and have been doing a variety of things, yoga, strength training, etc. At the beginning of this year I found your channel and just love it! I have been doing many of the basic step classes you have and they are all so good. My 2 small dogs love to supervise as yours does. Thanks for keeping this older nana in shape.
I'm 61 and I think I did my first step workout in 1992? I'm so grateful to have found you Chris and absolutely love all of the different levels of step that you offer, plus your weekly strength training program!!! You're amazing!!!
I'm 68 years old. I started stepping 12 years ago when my athletic club had a contest for people to try new classes. I was intimated by the step class, but even with stopping to get my bearings, I worked up a sweat and realized this was a fabulous workout program. Each week I got comfortable with a new routine (such as rocking horse) and eventually was able to follow the calls without watching the instructor. I've been doing step at least twice a week ever since. I found cdorner when the world shut down and am now a big fan. I did this short class today so that I could follow it with strength training, got to work on those bones as they are getting thin. Thank you Chris.
I'm 38, been stepping for 11 years and still loving it! Felt the need to do a simple basic one today like this, and you know what, I've still got a good sweat going! Thank you, Chris!!!
I’m 47 and over 200 lbs, started step in September, I’ve never stepped before until I started with you Chris, I’m in between basic and intermediate, I’ve lost over 30 lbs, it’s never too late to get started even if it means starting slow, you have to start somewhere 😊
Thanks again I needed a workout with an uplift that, you always provide, I’m in the UK and I’ve left my step out to do one of your dumbbell workouts when I get back home later this afternoon from helping my daughter with my beautiful granddaughters 16 months and 9 days old so I need these workouts to keep me fit xxxx oh and I’m 55 xx
I apologize for long post. I started teaching in '87. Became the one of 3 certifield in my state in Step Aerobicsim '90. Taught 2 classes a day for 5 days. Ran a health club teaching 1x a day, certified personal trainer and substituted. Took a break in '95 to run a marathon. Left step and ran/walked. Total walking in 2007, just walking. Now at 68 I'm trying to gain back some cardio and strength and your class is the first instructor that steps to the beat and calls instruction like I did. So easy to follow you. Great job!
I am 69 years old and have been doing step since my 20's. I took time off in my 50's, but started back again in my 60's. You have all the workouts I will ever need! Thank you. Cheryl W.
I’m 57, and just started step. Thanks for the great videos and resources! I’m a single, working mom, and caretaker for own mom. I am recovering from a broken wrist and cant do my rowing machine. This fits the bill! My old Jazzercise days are coming in handy! 😆
I’m 59. I’ve been doing step… again for about 9 months. I was looking for a workout that I would do consistently. I found Chris’s channel and I was so excited. I didn’t know people still did step😂. I don’t use a step. I didn’t want to buy yet another piece of equipment that I didn’t use. I started doing her routines and LOVE them. Get a such a great workout that I haven’t gotten a step yet but my plan is to soon. Grateful for Chris and her community ❤❤❤
I'm 70! I bought a step and first learned with Chris's tutorials in 2020 (at age 66). I had never done step before, and now I'm working on the advanced classes. I love it! Thanks Chris!
Hi Christina 😊 I'm from Germany and I'm 53 years old. I love your workout and would like to get fitter again. I am a physical therapist and it's so important to do sport. Many years ago I did Stepaerobics regularly and now I'm starting again. You are a great trainer! Thank you! 😊
I am 60; soon to be 61 in August. I started step in 2021 when I couldn't get outside to walk as much due to taking care of my bedridden adult daughter who has TBI. I would consider myself to be up to intermediate in step. I cannot seem to move onto advanced. I usually cannot focus enough to learn advanced moves and cannot commit to hour long workouts. I find 30-40 min workouts to be best for me since I cannot spend anymore than that at a time due to taking care of my daughter. You are my best hope of learning advanced step since you are such a great instructor. I liked this step workout, because it was short, easy and fun. I combined it with a 25 min lower body workout which I did at a separate time the same day. Thanks for all your hard work!
I am 59 years old and I started doing basic step about three years ago. Chris has been so instrumental towards my progression to intermediate and then advanced step. And yes, I rolled my eyes when she would lecture about strength. At first. Let me tell you, she's right. Strength training is vital to everyone no matter their age. Thank you Chris! ❤
Helloooo from England 🏴 I’m nearly 62yrs young and after a 30 year break from step classes I am absolutely buzzing having managed to get through Christina’s beginner class!!🎉 Will definitely be a new daily routine for me ! ❤
Hello, have been doing your workouts for a couple of months now after recently being diagnosed with osteoporosis. I am 67 years old, female and considered myself to be very fit weighing only 50kg and standing 155cm tall and have been a vegetarian for around 40 years. I have been dancing since I was 7 years old firstly tap dancing & ballet and then moved on to Rollerdancing in my 30's and am currently ballroom dancing & latin dancing 4 times a week which I have done for the past 30 years. I walk daily and also ride a bicycle about twice a week and now I am doing workouts of strength training and also yoga and of course step aerobics on a daily basis. Good job I am retired right!. I am really enjoying your workouts and have not progressed past the beginner levels yet because I want to build up my strength further before I tackle the more difficult workouts. Looking forward to continuing and getting stronger. Thanks again for the fabulous workouts.
I needed a n easier workout tonight since it's late. NOT at all boring! I'm 59 and have been doing your intermediate to advanced classes for over a year now. I previously did step aerobics (over 20 years ago). So glad I found you! xoxoxox
It’s pouring here so I can’t do my evening walk outside and I said, hmm I wonder if Chris has like a 25 minute fast basic step? And I turned on RUclips and there it was because of course you have one, you have sooooo many options!!! You’re simply the best. I’m 43 and for the first time in my life, since finding you a year and a half ago, I’m taking care of my body. I never knew what that looked like before finding you, to be honest, because exercise felt like punishment most of the time. But every without with you is FUN and engaging and leaves me a sweaty smiling mess. Thanks for being a ray of sunshine and light!! 💡 I appreciate you so much and it’s so clear how much work you put into what you do. ❤❤❤
Cris that was a really fun fun step workout today .I really really love step.its one of my real favourite workouts.and I really enjoy the choreography and the moves .and it's easy to keep up with .and I really enjoy the hard work and enjoy the fun of step workout.i am so much better at step .and the music is really great as well.thank you Chris for an awesome amazing and really fun step workout today..I really really enjoyed it today.and I have really loved the laughs and chat that we all had during the workouts today.it helps the time fly by.thank you again Chris.from daniel.see you tomorow.
Nice basic step routine. I'm 60 and started doing step in the 1990's. At first I didn't like it because i was used to doing the floor aerobic classes, but now love step. I think it helps with coordination and helping catch yourself when you almost trip and fall. Thank you, Chris for helping me exercise through Covid and beyond...
I am 63. I started doing step aerobics in 1998 after we moved back home from our 3 year tour in Belgium. I did the classes at the Y and then my favorite teacher moved. So I took up running at a very slow pace and started yoga. Last year I started back with step aerobics but then the Y dropped it so now I’m so glad to have found your program Christina! Thank you for your different levels!
I’m 64! Been doing step about 30 years! Started with Chris who is EXCELLENT since 2021 during COVID! Love Step but I was missing by only doing step. I used to do other classes at the gym and the mobility challenge reminded me what I was missing! I see the difference! Legs are stronger. On Monday I use the step routine s a dance and then do weights/abs or whatever combo. I know TMI - but Love the whole C Dorner Fitness System!!😂❤
I like these more basic, slower style of classes as they allow me to add a riser (which I don't normally do for various reasons). I'm 62 and have been stepping on-and-off for about 30 years. Thanks to Chris' fabulous training and class variety, my stepping is more ON than off, and I'm way better at it!🎉
This was great. Almost 47 here. Chris, you’re such a great instructor, whether it’s an intermediate/advanced or a basic, you’re always so encouraging. I usually do intermediate, but it’s nice to do a basic once in a while and I was still so sweaty! Loved Louis’s step - so cute! Thank you!
Just back from constant visits to the hospital to visit my husband, who was extremely unwell with pneumonia. This is a great little workout to get me back in the flow. I also did my strength training. I feel better for all of it! Thanks so much for your wonderful workouts Christina! You feel like a friend to me. PS - I am 73 years old now, and can still climb up and down all the flights of stairs in the hospital without any effort. Yey! xx
62 and stepping for 20 years. Love your classes! Just found your workouts a month ago. Moved from Cathe Frederich to you. I needed a change and you are fantastic. Thank you for the hard work and dedication you put into your workouts.
Hi I'm 55, been training in the gym for more than twenty years, I love weights, aerobics did spinning and little step never my favorite, the step class will always feature same people 😜 knowing all the moves of by heart, so did do a little. Since 2019, working out from home, came across your channel , think around 2021. The step classes you do inspires, combo with weights just awesome, and I'm able to follow the moves with ease.❤
I am 56 years old. I used to teach step in the '90s, so I guess i've been doing it for about 30 years. Today i was a little bit sore, so this one was a great re-set. Thanks so much. -Angela
I’m 44 and have been stepping for over 25 years! I did this one on double risers and still burned a ton of cals and had a great time. Thanks for keeping me stepping!
54 this month. Started stepping in my 20's and loved it! I had found my workout. Then life happened and had to stop. Picked back up 2 years ago with Chris. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE step aerobics. Also added in strength training.
I'm 50! I've been doing step since the 90s and love all levels, and chose which level and pace I want to do based on how I feel to keep consistently working out. Thanks Chris and all the commenters. I love the age range and how you are motivating people to continue working out no matter how old or young they are. You're the best!
I am 46 and have been doing step aerobics for maybe 2 years but I’d been doing some strength training for 2 years before that. I could do intermediate to advanced but I’ve had some medical setbacks recently and started back with basic without a step. I appreciate that you cover all fitness levels and the variety in your workouts.

Love all your step workouts but I do like doing a shorter basic routine on strength days. And all the cute curls made me smile throughout! I’m 68 & have done step aerobics since Gin Miller invented it!🥰
I remember Gin Miller; I loved her!
I'm 62 and have been doing step for about 30 years. I love all your step classes and sometimes it is nice to slow things down and keep it simple. Thank you for the variety of your step classes, love it!!
I am 61, have not done step in years until I found Chris 2 years ago. Now I am doing strength training with Chris and love it. Thanks so much for kind loving spirit.
I'm 64 and started doing step at age 61 and loving it! Thanks to your awesome tutorials. ❤ Why did I wait SO long ?

I totally love this basic walk. I practiced my ‘listening’ skills without staring at the tv screen. I will be 68 in 19 days and I am having a blast! Thank you, Chris! ❤️
I’m turning 80 in August! Started stepping with Jane Fonda & Gin Miller & Gilad! Have stayed with step all these years. I never did care for advanced step but trade days on basic & intermediate classes. Rock on 🤘
Hi Chris I’m 57 and I’ve been doing step for over 30 years! But I’m doing strength training with you too, I love it! Thank you so much🥰
I’m 54. I did step back in the early 90s but have only been back stepping for the last 6 months or so.

Cardio and step is more fun for me but I also love the feeling of getting stronger!
I’m 65 next month. Love step! Not hard on my knees but still a great workout. Thanks for the lower speed music.
Hi Chris, I‘m back to leave you a comment.
This was a realy good workout today, not to fast, not to hard, perfect for my sore legs😇(too much via ferrata climbing yesterday)
So you asked us to tell you about how old we are and how long we are doing steps. Well, I‘m 39 years old and I‘m doing step classes about 15 or 16 years (not continuous, cause beeing pregnant for twice and beeing a mommy doesn‘t come easy to me). In October 2023 I found your RUclips channel and now I belief in warm-up, cardio, strengh and stretch💪🧘♀️ Thank you so much for all the things you give, it feels so good to me❤️
I am 66 y/o. Used to be proficient in step 25 years ago. Just starting back. That was a great sweat!
66 years old. Keep Steppin!!!!
This was a really fun, quick, sweaty workout! I am 42 and have been doing step for about 25 years (but not consistently). I am so glad I found your channel because it has helped me rediscover how much I love step ❤ thanks for all your amazing workouts!
Easy going but I honestly tought that it was more difficult going slow compared to fast. Made me think of all the moves, I didn’t rush into it. It was a great workout for starting the week. Thank you Chris! ❤
Started Step with Gin Miller in the 80s and probably still have my VHS tapes. As far as I can tell I'm older than anyone who has commented here.
I started with Gin too actually purchased my step and her instructional/workout vhs video.
Me too! Loved her videos!
54, doing step for a year and a half with you, also did it in my 20s and early 30s. Love the fun and variety of your classes❤. Keeps me motivated & I am never bored when I work out with you.
Just what I needed this morning! Thank you Chris! I am 60 years old. Started step Reebok when it came out as I worked there in IT from the late 1980s until 2001. Have absolutely loved rediscovering it with you!
WOOOO Love that we are still stepping! Thanks Sandy!
I'm 54 and wanted to try step aerobics again. I found your channel and love it.
I’m 55 and have been doing step since early 90.s. When my children were young in early 2000’s would go to same step class with a group of women for 9 years! I was totally a cardio queen, now love to do strength training! We called ourselves the “step sisters” our instructor was a trained dancer so lots of fun moves. Love your class, it brings me back to those years with my Step Sisters. Nice to go a bit slower today. ❤️🌷
Love step!
Been doing it with you for a year or so.
My age is 64 years young…😊
From San Antonio Tx
I greatly enjoy stepping with you! I have just started working out after years of dormancy. Your videos and instruction makes it fun and challenging for a 60-year-old! Thank you so much for sharing this gift!!
I'm turning 65 in October. I used to teach step in the late 90s and early 2000's. However, taking time to raise two boys took my focus off my fitness. I discovered Chris 's channel in 2022 and slowly started my return to fitness. I purposely stayed away from step. I was afraid that I would no longer love my old friend. Finally, I decided to start back. I ordered a new step from Amazon and looked at it for about a week, avoiding it and telling myself, "maybe tomorrow ". Finally, I decided to go for it. It was not love at first step, but I have kept at it. I 'm not sure if I will ever be an advanced stepper who breezes through the Saturday classes, but I 'm ok with that! I just want to have fun, sweat, and enjoy another form of staying young at heart❤ Thanks again Chris for sharing your gifts with us !
I am 52 and started step in the early 90s but stopped for a while and recently started back.
I’m a fast basic girl but it’s a nice change of pace to slow things down once in a while. I used two risers and got a good sweat going. I’m 40 and I’m in better shape now than I was in my 20s thanks to CDorner fitness. I have been stepping with you for two years and I love it! Thanks Chris! - Kat W
Love the different levels so I can change up between one and two risers! I just turned 58 and stepped for 12 years between 1990-2002 and loved it. I thought step had gone away (no more good videos) until I found you 9 months ago. You have brought joy back to my life with your step classes. Thank you so much for all that you do!
Did this after the Thighs workout. I’m 43 and just started stepping in February. Fast Basic is my favorite but today I decided to do this routine to get a little more work in. Chris… I really enjoy your workouts and have been tell anyone who asks me what exercises I’m doing to check out your channel!
I'm 59 will be 60 in a few months and I've been doing step for a year usually twice a week. I weight train 5 days a week and have been doing that for 16 years as well as stretching and mobility and I have to say it changed my life. I have osteoarthritis and Ehlers Danlos Sydrome and I don't think I'd be as healthy and mobile as I am if I didn't do these things. You're never too old to do some kind of exercise and as the years roll along you just have to learn to adapt and adjust your routine.
Thank you so much for all of your classes, I love them!!
I’m 57 and have been stepping for two or three months. I used to do it in my teens and twenties. I love how many workouts you have, and I love that I don’t feel like I’m being yelled at! Thanks for the positivity and encouragement! ❤
Loved it! I’m 67 and a brand new stepper! Thanks, Chris!
I am 55 and I used to do step a long time ago, maybe in the 90's. I did it today without a step cause I don't have one, I def needed beginner to get the moves. Tried a harder step workout last week, I did ok. Today was better 😊❤
I’m so glad you came back!!!! Yep practice and you will get better and better! I am so proud of you!
Hello
Been doing step for 3 yrs. I’m 55 and these basic classes still get me sweaty ! Love them all !
I am 67 and just recently rediscovered step aerobics. It is my favorite cardio, and I am so happy to have found it again. I even bought myself a new step to celebrate!
Doing this with the afterparty from the UK. I am 62 and started step about a month ago. Thank you! Already feeling the difference but boy do I get hot!!
YAy!!!!! Thanks for stepping with me Kate!
I’m 63 and found your channel at the start of this year. Hadn’t done step before and was like 😮 but stuck with it and am now doing “some” more advanced steps. It was good to do this basic step today as i was using it to up my step count after doing one of your strength workouts (see i listened 🤭) so grateful i found you 💜
Hi @beverlymarshall4625! Welcome to my channel and thanks so much for saying hello! Keep up the great work!! :)
I am 56 and have been doing step for 31 years. I LOVED this workout. It felt like I was in a group fitness class without the judgement. It was fun, and yes, I was smiling!
52 Years young. I WO with a step w/Chris on the basic classes - basic to intermediate I do the class on a mat until I feel comfortable then will progress to a step. Used to do step in my 20's - only getting back to enjoying because of Chris and her Channel/Program. 🖐Aussie Sally
I’m 67 and have been doing step since l wasin my late 30”s. added strength training, serious strength training in the last 2 years. Been following Chris for 3 years. Thank you!
Just finished this beginner step. I’m 60 and haven’t done a step class in over 30 years! Loved ❤ it! Thank you!
I’m 66 pushing 67. I’ve done some step off and on for about 15 years. But I didn’t catch on to a lot of intermediate steps till I found Cdornerfitness last year. Thank you Chris!!! I’m just a basic- intermediate stepper. But weights are my favourite workouts though. 🇨🇦
I am 69 years olds and was an avid stepper a few decades ago..lol. I retired about 5 years ago and have been doing a variety of things, yoga, strength training, etc. At the beginning of this year I found your channel and just love it! I have been doing many of the basic step classes you have and they are all so good. My 2 small dogs love to supervise as yours does. Thanks for keeping this older nana in shape.
I'm 61 and I think I did my first step workout in 1992? I'm so grateful to have found you Chris and absolutely love all of the different levels of step that you offer, plus your weekly strength training program!!! You're amazing!!!
Great basic step on my active rest day! I'm 50 and I have been doing step for 33 years.
I'm 68 years old. I started stepping 12 years ago when my athletic club had a contest for people to try new classes. I was intimated by the step class, but even with stopping to get my bearings, I worked up a sweat and realized this was a fabulous workout program. Each week I got comfortable with a new routine (such as rocking horse) and eventually was able to follow the calls without watching the instructor. I've been doing step at least twice a week ever since. I found cdorner when the world shut down and am now a big fan. I did this short class today so that I could follow it with strength training, got to work on those bones as they are getting thin. Thank you Chris.
I’m 63 & have done step aerobics since the early 90’s. Step makes me happy, but your strength training has made me stronger! Thanks Chris!
I'm 38, been stepping for 11 years and still loving it! Felt the need to do a simple basic one today like this, and you know what, I've still got a good sweat going! Thank you, Chris!!!
67, new to step and loved this...love it so much I'm gonna upgrade my step to wider one with optional risers.....thank you Christina 💌💌💌💌
I am 31 and I a still a baby stepper but I love all of your workouts. You make working out so much! Also Lou helps too. 😂
Thank you Emily!! OMG, he really helps!! ❤️😂😂
I’m 47 and over 200 lbs, started step in September, I’ve never stepped before until I started with you Chris, I’m in between basic and intermediate, I’ve lost over 30 lbs, it’s never too late to get started even if it means starting slow, you have to start somewhere 😊
YAY Christine!!! I AM so proud of you!!!!!
I'm 66, too. I did step in the 80s, then switched to spinning. Found Chris during the pandemic and step has been my favorite thing since.
Thanks again I needed a workout with an uplift that, you always provide, I’m in the UK and I’ve left my step out to do one of your dumbbell workouts when I get back home later this afternoon from helping my daughter with my beautiful granddaughters 16 months and 9 days old so I need these workouts to keep me fit xxxx oh and I’m 55 xx
I apologize for long post. I started teaching in '87. Became the one of 3 certifield in my state in Step Aerobicsim '90. Taught 2 classes a day for 5 days. Ran a health club teaching 1x a day, certified personal trainer and substituted. Took a break in '95 to run a marathon. Left step and ran/walked. Total walking in 2007, just walking. Now at 68 I'm trying to gain back some cardio and strength and your class is the first instructor that steps to the beat and calls instruction like I did. So easy to follow you. Great job!
I just discovered your channel a week ago. Great classes!!! I'm 77 and it's never too late to get into exercise!! Thank you!
WOOOO Welcome!! You got that right, never too old!! I hope I am still doing this at 77!
I am 69 years old and have been doing step since my 20's. I took time off in my 50's, but started back again in my 60's. You have all the workouts I will ever need! Thank you. Cheryl W.
YAY!! Thank you so so much for joining me Cheryl!!!!
I’m 57, and just started step. Thanks for the great videos and resources! I’m a single, working mom, and caretaker for own mom. I am recovering from a broken wrist and cant do my rowing machine. This fits the bill! My old Jazzercise days are coming in handy! 😆
I’m 59. I’ve been doing step… again for about 9 months. I was looking for a workout that I would do consistently. I found Chris’s channel and I was so excited. I didn’t know people still did step😂. I don’t use a step. I didn’t want to buy yet another piece of equipment that I didn’t use. I started doing her routines and LOVE them. Get a such a great workout that I haven’t gotten a step yet but my plan is to soon. Grateful for Chris and her community ❤❤❤
I'm 61 and started doing your step workouts in June 😊. I did step in the 80s, and I'm glad to get back into it.
I'm 70! I bought a step and first learned with Chris's tutorials in 2020 (at age 66). I had never done step before, and now I'm working on the advanced classes. I love it! Thanks Chris!
I’m 72 and loving following you. You constantly challenge my mind and body. Thank you Chris!
As more of an intermediate stepper, I used this basic class as a recovery day!!!! Everyone can benefit from one!😊
I’m 50. I loved this class ❤ Thank you so much for bringing step back in to my life.
I’m 51! I started doing your classes a year ago. I hadn’t done step in 25 years. Your classes are fun! Thank you! ❤😊
Hi Christina 😊 I'm from Germany and I'm 53 years old. I love your workout and would like to get fitter again. I am a physical therapist and it's so important to do sport. Many years ago I did Stepaerobics regularly and now I'm starting again. You are a great trainer! Thank you! 😊
Thank you so so so much!
I am 60; soon to be 61 in August. I started step in 2021 when I couldn't get outside to walk as much due to taking care of my bedridden adult daughter who has TBI. I would consider myself to be up to intermediate in step. I cannot seem to move onto advanced. I usually cannot focus enough to learn advanced moves and cannot commit to hour long workouts. I find 30-40 min workouts to be best for me since I cannot spend anymore than that at a time due to taking care of my daughter. You are my best hope of learning advanced step since you are such a great instructor. I liked this step workout, because it was short, easy and fun. I combined it with a 25 min lower body workout which I did at a separate time the same day. Thanks for all your hard work!
I am 59 years old and I started doing basic step about three years ago. Chris has been so instrumental towards my progression to intermediate and then advanced step. And yes, I rolled my eyes when she would lecture about strength. At first. Let me tell you, she's right. Strength training is vital to everyone no matter their age. Thank you Chris! ❤
Helloooo from England 🏴 I’m nearly 62yrs young and after a 30 year break from step classes I am absolutely buzzing having managed to get through Christina’s beginner class!!🎉 Will definitely be a new daily routine for me ! ❤
Hello, have been doing your workouts for a couple of months now after recently being diagnosed with osteoporosis. I am 67 years old, female and considered myself to be very fit weighing only 50kg and standing 155cm tall and have been a vegetarian for around 40 years. I have been dancing since I was 7 years old firstly tap dancing & ballet and then moved on to Rollerdancing in my 30's and am currently ballroom dancing & latin dancing 4 times a week which I have done for the past 30 years. I walk daily and also ride a bicycle about twice a week and now I am doing workouts of strength training and also yoga and of course step aerobics on a daily basis. Good job I am retired right!. I am really enjoying your workouts and have not progressed past the beginner levels yet because I want to build up my strength further before I tackle the more difficult workouts. Looking forward to continuing and getting stronger. Thanks again for the fabulous workouts.
I needed a n easier workout tonight since it's late. NOT at all boring! I'm 59 and have been doing your intermediate to advanced classes for over a year now. I previously did step aerobics (over 20 years ago). So glad I found you! xoxoxox
Thank you so much Debbie!
It’s pouring here so I can’t do my evening walk outside and I said, hmm I wonder if Chris has like a 25 minute fast basic step? And I turned on RUclips and there it was because of course you have one, you have sooooo many options!!! You’re simply the best. I’m 43 and for the first time in my life, since finding you a year and a half ago, I’m taking care of my body. I never knew what that looked like before finding you, to be honest, because exercise felt like punishment most of the time. But every without with you is FUN and engaging and leaves me a sweaty smiling mess. Thanks for being a ray of sunshine and light!! 💡 I appreciate you so much and it’s so clear how much work you put into what you do. ❤❤❤

Nice basic step routine. I'm 60 and started doing step in the 1990's. At first I didn't like it because i was used to doing the floor aerobic classes, but now love step. I think it helps with coordination and helping catch yourself when you almost trip and fall. Thank you, Chris for helping me exercise through Covid and beyond...
I am 63. I started doing step aerobics in 1998 after we moved back home from our 3 year tour in Belgium. I did the classes at the Y and then my favorite teacher moved. So I took up running at a very slow pace and started yoga. Last year I started back with step aerobics but then the Y dropped it so now I’m so glad to have found your program Christina! Thank you for your different levels!
I’m 64! Been doing step about 30 years! Started with Chris who is EXCELLENT since 2021 during COVID! Love Step but I was missing by only doing step. I used to do other classes at the gym and the mobility challenge reminded me what I was missing!
I see the difference! Legs are stronger.
On Monday I use the step routine s a dance and then do weights/abs or whatever combo.
I know TMI - but Love the whole C Dorner Fitness System!!😂❤
I like these more basic, slower style of classes as they allow me to add a riser (which I don't normally do for various reasons). I'm 62 and have been stepping on-and-off for about 30 years. Thanks to Chris' fabulous training and class variety, my stepping is more ON than off, and I'm way better at it!🎉
This was great. Almost 47 here. Chris, you’re such a great instructor, whether it’s an intermediate/advanced or a basic, you’re always so encouraging. I usually do intermediate, but it’s nice to do a basic once in a while and I was still so sweaty! Loved Louis’s step - so cute! Thank you!
Just back from constant visits to the hospital to visit my husband, who was extremely unwell with pneumonia. This is a great little workout to get me back in the flow. I also did my strength training. I feel better for all of it! Thanks so much for your wonderful workouts Christina! You feel like a friend to me. PS - I am 73 years old now, and can still climb up and down all the flights of stairs in the hospital without any effort. Yey! xx
So happy I got to do a step class live!!! Great quick hit for when you’re short on time but want to get a workout in!! Thanks Chris!!
62 and stepping for 20 years. Love your classes! Just found your workouts a month ago. Moved from Cathe Frederich to you. I needed a change and you are fantastic. Thank you for the hard work and dedication you put into your workouts.
Hi I'm 55, been training in the gym for more than twenty years, I love weights, aerobics did spinning and little step never my favorite, the step class will always feature same people 😜 knowing all the moves of by heart, so did do a little. Since 2019, working out from home, came across your channel , think around 2021. The step classes you do inspires, combo with weights just awesome, and I'm able to follow the moves with ease.❤
I am 56 years old. I used to teach step in the '90s, so I guess i've been doing it for about 30 years. Today i was a little bit sore, so this one was a great re-set. Thanks so much. -Angela
I’m 44 and have been stepping for over 25 years! I did this one on double risers and still burned a ton of cals and had a great time. Thanks for keeping me stepping!
Fun! Today is my 100th day consecutively working out with you (including Sunday rest days) and I feel strong! Thank you.
Great job!
54 this month. Started stepping in my 20's and loved it! I had found my workout. Then life happened and had to stop. Picked back up 2 years ago with Chris. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE step aerobics. Also added in strength training.
44 and been doing step for over 2 yrs. Decided to speed up full choreography to 1.25 and rewinded to do it twice❤❤
Chris is the Best!!❤️🔥
Woooo go Celina!!!
I'm 50! I've been doing step since the 90s and love all levels, and chose which level and pace I want to do based on how I feel to keep consistently working out. Thanks Chris and all the commenters. I love the age range and how you are motivating people to continue working out no matter how old or young they are. You're the best!
Consistency moves you forward! ❤
