Step & Strength

STEP & STRENGTH CLASS

Our step and strength class is a full-body workout that combines cardiovascular exercise with strength training. It is suitable for women of all ages and fitness levels, offering modifications to accommodate different abilities.

The cardiovascular portion of the class involves stepping up and down on a step. The instructor leads choreographed routines that incorporate various step patterns, such as basic step-ups, over-the-top steps, and side-to-side movements. These routines are set to upbeat music, providing a fun and energetic atmosphere.

The step height can be adjusted to increase or decrease the intensity, making it accessible for beginners and challenging for advanced participants. Low-impact options, such as marching or tapping the step, are often provided for those with joint concerns or limitations.

In addition to the step aerobics portion, the class incorporates strength training exercises using dumbbells or resistance bands. These exercises target major muscle groups, including the arms, shoulders, back, chest, and core.

Common strength exercises may include bicep curls, shoulder presses, rows, chest presses, and abdominal crunches. The instructor will guide participants through proper form and technique, ensuring a safe and effective workout.

With its combination of cardiovascular exercise and strength training, a step and strength class provides a well-rounded workout that can improve overall fitness, endurance, and body composition for women of all ages and fitness levels.
