The Quest For A Beautiful Body!

Most people would love to have a well defined body, healthy and muscular, which metabolizes quickly so that you can burn the calories you eat, and never store excess fat.

Unfortunately this is rarely the case and is usually accomplished by regular aerobic exercise combined with weight lifting routines and proper diet.

Have you ever experienced a sport injury?

For those of us who have pushed our bodies through a lifetime of high intensity, high impact aerobic exercise, the pulls, tears and strains have been an occasional result and constant reminder. There is only so much pounding, jumping and running the knees and ankles can put up with before something has to give.

What Can Step Step Aerobics Do For Me?

Step aerobics allows an individual to burn calories with the same intensity as running, and has the added benefit of working several muscle groups in one session. All of this is accomplished in a high intensity, low impact workout, which is gentler on the joints.

What Is Step Aerobics?

*Step aerobics routines use continuous activity through a series of steps and arm movements that are set to music.

*The entire routine involves a small platform that you continuously step onto and off of, which makes this workout convenient, even for those with little space to exercise.

*The step generally has two height adjustments. Increasing the height will intensify your workout, and it should not be raised until you are comfortable with the routines and the routines have become relatively easy to perform.

*Using wrist weights or light hand weights during the routines will also intensify the routine and accelerate arm and shoulder tone without the use of isolated weight repetitions.

*The continuous stepping up and down will strengthen and tone the lower body, legs, thighs and buttocks similar to using a step master.

*Step aerobics also strengthens the back and abdominal muscles.

Step Aerobic Workout:

While performing your step moves, keep your head up, shoulders back, abdominal muscles pulled in and your back straight. This is essential while stepping up and down from the platform.

Place your entire foot solidly on the platform when stepping up.

Begin your routine with a warm-up and finish with a cool down. These steps are extremely important in protecting your body from injury.

What Are The Benefits Of My Workout?

*A feeling of great accomplishment.

*Your muscles are tired, but not sore.

*You have worked up a healthy sweat and feel fatigue, but you do not feel like you ran a marathon.

When Will I See Results?

As with any aerobic exercise, you must perform the routine at least three times a week:

*Within a few weeks you will notice your clothes fitting better.

*Your arms begin to have definition.

*Your legs will feel stronger and look thinner.

*Your stamina will begin to increase.

*You will feel more energetic.
