It’s pretty much a dance, aerobics workout that is performed on a platform or a step. The step is unique as it doesn’t cause damage to your joints due to its built in shock absorption. And, depending on the level of intensity you wish to achieve, you can adjust the step height up or down.

Besides the basic step up and down on the platform, a step class will generally incorporate other signature moves such as turns, shuffles, kicks, taps, side-steps as well as coordinated moves that work the whole body. The moves go according to beats in the music and once you have mastered the moves, you can add more intensity to your workout by flowing with the moves.

Although each step class is unique and choreographed by the instructor, they all have some basic moves. If you decide to join a class for the first time, don’t be taken aback by all the moves. Keep attending regular classes and in no time you’ll be a step-stepping expert!
