What ever happened to step aerobics?

[Anonymous]

I wish the regular step classes would come back in some way, shape, or form. At some point the footwork got way too intricate and fast. That's why people stopped going.

Now my old knees can barely climb a step.

Sigh.

I’m only 38 and loved step aerobics, LOL. I started going as a teenager. I’m not from this area but in my area it’s evolved into different Les Mills classes. There are step elements but not a straight up step class.

I'm ok with that. But step is forever! It never gets old. My knees, on the other hand...

Uh, no. Clearly step is not forever. It is out. Get with the times, lady.

Jazzercise is still around! I don’t know if they use steps/risers but they still do choreographed aerobics.

Look for gyms that offer Les Mills classes. BodyStep is basically an aerobic step class. I know the XSport in Alexandria offers it, along with several of the other Les Mills Body- classes (BodyFlow, BodyPump, etc).

Oh no, the intricate moves and modifications are fun! Boring step is boring! A DVD would be hella boring! I have a feeling the instructor with the following mentioned above is really intricate and always changing up challenging routines!

Amy Dixon has a good one. It's available on Amazon.

I love this. I'm 46 and miss step; was just thinking this today during zumba when a substitute teacher started with the grapevine

I loved step classes. It’s what got me going to the gym. Loved that it’s not all dancy and you don’t need any special talents!

Are you listening, Zumba? Some of us are there for the cardio, not to practice for our Cardi B backup dancer audition.

Hate Zumba. Have loved step since the 80s.

In the 90s I used to pay $3 per jazzercise class. It was meant mostly for oldsters (which I was not at the time) so it was easy enough to follow along.
