    Are you a more experienced stepper? Comment with a little motivation for those just starting out ❤❤

      Well this might be a long one...I'm Julie, I live in Alaska, I was a group fitness instructor from 1995 until 2015 when I retired to be more available to help out with our new twin granddaughters. I taught mostly step for those 20 years, but also taught group barbell classes, yoga, old school aerobics, spin, and even dabbled in aqua aerobics. But step was always my first love. I stopped teaching step in 2008 when the network of clubs I worked for went to the Les Mills programs where we used their music, their choreography, etc. It wasn't for me. I was/am a big fan of creating my own choreo and using my own (licensed) music. I did continue teaching other group formats that didn't fall under the Les Mills brand, like yoga.
      So, I haven't been on a step other than to use it at a weight lifting bench since 2008. Today I found that my anxiety and depression was kicking up a bit and I knew I had to nip it straight away before I created too many neural pathways based on fear and anxiety. I used to run after GF retirement but I'm 57 now and my knees and ankles have had enough of the road pounding so I didn't want to go back to that right off, even though I know it would help and I do love the feeling of running. Anyway, I looked at my step bench and thought....wow, maybe I should look on youtube for some step workouts. I bet that will help get me out of my funk.
      I found you. Thank you for that short and sweet and somewhat harder than I remember it being workout! It was the perfect reintroduction to step! I even found myself smiling and thinking I may do another short step class of yours. I'm fit cardio wise, but like I said haven't been on a step in ages..it's a whole other beast. I used one set of risers. It may have been too much for the first time back in almost 10 year! But I got a good workout and felt mostly comfortable and towards the end I could feel that old muscle memory start to respond. I even started cueing the moves with you...I'm a pointer...so I would point to which side as I cued! It was funny to be honest. I didn't miss a beat! I still got it! LOL!
      So in closing I just want to say thanks for putting yourself and your workouts out there for those of us that can't get outside (it's 35 degrees today and raining on top of snow which means ice) or maybe we don't feel comfortable in a gym/class setting anymore. I think I found a new cardio home (I also have an iFit membership with our nordictrack studio cycle so I can cross train and mix it up a bit, I use the iFit membership for strength and yoga as well) but I see you also have other formats and I may try them out as well.
      Again, thanks so much and I think you found a new follower!

    I'm 55 and have been doing step workouts since my 20s. However, for some reason in my 40s I lost all coordination (maybe kids and weight gain are to blame lol). I am so lost now when I do it in a class. So last week I pulled out my old Jane Fonda step and decided to find someone on UA-cam. Thank you for helping me find again the joy of step aerobics. I think I'll stick to step class in my living room.

    I never find a basic class boring. I add a riser and the slower pace give me an opportunity to really focus on form, footwork, making sure weight is over the foot, keeping a straight back, good range of motion through arms. If you are hesitating....don't....Chris is a fantastic instructor and makes the movements easy to follow.😀

    52 yrs old and zero coordination for following classes so have never done step (or any other aerobics class)before. Managed to follow along and almost keep in time! Felt just the right level of intensity for me as a beginner. Really hoping that in time it will help strengthen my legs to support my creaking arthritic knees! Next time will add risers.

    I haven't done step aerobics since the 80's. Now at 61, I am struggling with balance and co-ordination. I managed to complete this workout though I was a little behind, but it was a really good reintroduction to this type of exercise. Thank you.

Worked up a good sweat but boy do I have coordination and balance issues! I’m committing myself to repeating this training until I can match your moves. You are very motivating!

    Prior to this, I always loved working out and did step aerobics a lot.
    I appreciate how well you queue the steps and I’m hoping that I will be able to get back into step aerobics.
    You are a great instructor and encourager ‼️‼️😃

Now I mostly walk and add in step a few days a week. I'm happy to have found you C! Thanks for all you do! I started watching you first during the shut down. Im looking forward to more step with you!

    Just did this workout for the first time. I am recovering from a partial ACL tear. I used to attend step classes often but have been away from it for about 6 years or so. It was really fun doing this and it was a great place to start since I need to go easy with my ACL right now. Thank you for putting out a super basic, beginner step workout!!

  • @aprilmanning9629
    @aprilmanning9629 Місяць тому

    You are an incredible teacher. Your cues in advance of each step change are perfect. I taught Jazzercise back in the 80s, so I know how important good cuing is. And you provide great motivation for those getting back into step or newbies starting out.
    My story-70 years old and getting back into step after being away from it for decades. Starting off slow, but I’m so happy I’ve found your excellent channel. I can’t wait to see my progress as I follow you. Thanks!

    I’m in my 40’s and this is my first time doing a step class not to mention I’m getting back into aerobics after a long break (think in terms of years 😂 ). I did no risers, this was simple enough for me to follow and not get too bored. I plan on doing this video for the next month to just get back into the habit of working out. I know I will get bored so I plan on adding risers and or carrying dumbbells to up the intensity if needed. But thanks for the content and the reminder to not judge myself to harshly as I go. Even though I was super active in my younger years, I have to remember to start from where I’m at now and not where I was. Thanks!

    I did it! Thank you for a great, easy to follow workout. It also helped seeing the timer in the corner, which encouraged me to press through to the end. I’m 62, and just decided to get my step out that hasn’t been used in many years. I kept up with you, though many times with the wrong move or other foot, but at least I was moving! 😁 I’m sure next time it will be easier as I catch on, and eventually, I can add the risers. I’m looking forward to checking out your other videos too…I love your encouragement! 💖

    It has been many years since I've done step aerobics. Due to a previous injury and my age, I decided to start slowly. This was perfect , I'm 62, and this pace was perfect. I got a really good workout (the sweat is dripping off me) and will continue with this until I'm strong enough to move up. Thank you, I highly recommend it.

    Hey Girl, your workouts never cease to amaze me. You explain everything in simple, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-follow steps. Aerobics has always been so boring for me, especially if the instructor had no personality 99% of the time.
    Your workouts make me feel like I am in the same room with you, having a great workout with my best friend. You have such charisma, with excitement in your voice that keeps me motivated.
    I would just like to mention to anyone reading my comment. Working out with Chris takes aerobics to a whole new, fun, and exciting level. I am not a person to comment on anything, anywhere. But I have to give credit where credit is due. Thank you again for being YOU. Your biggest fan in Ohio.

I have been back doing mini tramp for a while but decided to get all the junk off my step and get back into it. Really enjoyed this one and got through it all without too many missteps. Will definitely keep going as part of my campaign to fight off old age. Thanks for this one. ☮️ 🙏

    I run the video at 0.75 speed,that's a great tip for an older beginner, like me.
    Thanks for your patience 🙏 happy stepping 😂

      @@CDornerFitness I have been doing this one for three weeks now and enjoyed it. One day I tried to do a faster one at 130bpm but could not take that speed and some of the more complicated L step that came with it. Lost balance and fell, but got up immediately. Do you have any more step workouts for beginner seniors at 124bpm or slower?
      Also, for senior beginners, how many inches high is the minimum a step needs to be?
      Will appreciate a response. With gratitude....

I browsed many videos until I found you. This was my first time stepping ever today & I will be returning! Thank you!

    I think I've finally moved onto intermediate step this basic one was great to work in. I needed just a bit more movement after my initial cardio and this was a nice slower paced step. Your intro was what I needed to hear....not necessarily for step but for other areas of my life ❤

I’m back now after a right mastectomy 😢but cancer free. Starting over at the basics with a torn medial meniscus, plantar fasciitis and 30 extra pounds thanks to menopause (😡)
    I’m so grateful for the selection of workouts that you provide. I feel like I can do this without any risk of further injury. Your BOSU one is still my favourite and I hope to get back there in time.

    I'm 36. I've been chronically ill for the last 3 years and with a 50lb postpartum weight gain since having my 2nd child who had a difficult start to life, diastasis recti, retroverted femurs that cause a lot of hip and leg pain - basically working out is really hard. I used to be a very fit and active person before I became unwell. I've been slowly making my way back to being active, even if not to the same level as before and even if I never get back into my old jeans.
    I got through the whole thing with a few short breaks. Lots of sweat so it felt like a good workout. I feel genuinely proud of myself. I loved step as a teenager, but I forgot how much coordination it requires 😂
    I'll be back!! ❤

    I'm a former Jazzercise and Step instructor. I'm currently spending 3 months in France. This is the first video of yours I tried and I look forward to doing other videos. If I only have a short time to get in a workout, this is the perfect length for me. Even though I've done all the moves before, I remember my first class in 2000, I felt like I had 2 left feet. For those just beginning, you may want to try the moves without the bench until you really know it. Then use the bench without any risers. Work up to risers gradually, or not. Some people never use risers.
