Learn How to Execute Common Step Aerobic Moves

One of my favorite things about step aerobics class (besides the insane number of calories I burn) is the ability to take a few simple steps and turn them into a complete step aerobics routine. Even better, if you switch up the steps just a bit, you have a completely different, but equally aerobic routine! Given the many different moves used in step aerobics, the number of different routines possible is infinite. Of course, with so many steps to learn, and little time in class to learn them, it may be difficult for some people to make it through an hour of step aerobics without getting completely lost. I have found it helpful to learn and practice a few basic steps found in most step aerobics classes. Practicing has helped me get the hang of confusing "turn step" that would normally make me dizzy and disoriented.

Also, I now can recognize the names of these steps when the step aerobics instructor calls them out. This means that instead of watching the instructor too close and tripping over my feet, my muscle memory springs into action. Now I can execute most steps when I hear the instructor shout their names. This leaves more time to focus on learning the new moves introduced that day in step aerobics. These are the basic steps that I practice on my own. Try to practice them-you will be impressed by how much you improve at step aerobics!
