30 MIN SIMPLE BASIC STEP AEROBICS - BEGINNER STEP CLASS WITH GREAT MUSIC

[@michelleg2112]

As a former 'advanced' stepper, it's been frustrating to start from the beginning after 4 major surgeries on my right knee (2) and hip (2) incl replacement of both. My body doesn't quite work the way it always did both mechanically and in terms of balance. After the knee replacement in Aug. '20 I gave up on Step after a few unsuccessful attempts. My confidence was shot so I concentrated on weight training and flexibility/mobility, which I'd always loved as well. After 'discovering' you in Feb and becoming addicted to your weight workouts, I dipped my toe into the baby pool of Step. I took my time, starting with no step, always encouraged by your advice to give myself a break and do what I could do. I graduated to the platform w/no risers and can finally use risers for beginner routines and just the Step for intermediate/advanced. Propulsion and spin moves are challenging, but I'm determined! I'm generally with you Live or **** 6 days/week. Thank you for your expertise and commitment to those at all levels. What you do and your impact are extraordinary, Chris. I feel like I've found 'me' again! Endless thanks.

[@CDornerFitness]

Good morning Michelle!! This is so encouraging!!! I am so proud of you!! This is definitely going to be read as a comment of the day soon!!! YOU ARE ROCKING THAT NEW BODY!!

[@michelleg2112]

@@CDornerFitness I've been wanting to explain why I feel so much gratitude and after getting through this entire routine with risers I knew it was time. I've only been able to do that a few times so far.. Also, just to let new steppers know that it's a process. Start with beginner routines on the floor if necessary, then try the bench and finally (if ever) add the risers...all in your own time. Then do the same for intermediate and advanced versions. And watch Chris's tutorials. She spends time providing a way for everyone to find success. You're the complete package, Chris.💖🥳

@@michelleg2112 AWE!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!

Dr. John Sarno instead of surgery. 🙏🏼

[@jewellfolsom1866]

Just discovered your workouts I love them. Thank you very much as a beginner. I am enjoying your classes!

[@Paula-NC]

Can't wait for more! Thank you so much for the low-paced beginner's workouts! 🔥

[@tarahalikiopoulos7099]

Whenever there’s a holiday, you need to continue to do Chris’s workouts. They are great for any day of the week! I love that you have descriptions, links, a website and a blog. Who knew?!

[@MariaRobare]

Perfect class for incorporating double risers. These are also perfect for advanced steppers who need a break from thinking while stepping and can just let yourself go and enjoy the music. Thank you!

[@KimmyGons]

Whenever I see "simple basic step," I think, oh that's gonna be too easy or too slow or not interesting--but that is NEVER the case with Chris! Her moves, her music, and her infectious enthusiasm makes a 30-minute basic step class so fun! Thanks, Chris!

[@CDornerFitness]

YAY Thanks Kimberly!!

[@daniellestearley8191]

Hey Hey Hey Christina!!! Now that the weather's cooling down in Northern Nevada, my step is coming back out!!! Thank you for a great basic step workout, the first of many for me this fall and winter!!! Much love!!!! Thanks for my making this 43 year old mama dance like it was 1999!

[@CDornerFitness]

YAY! Welcome back!!!

[@stephanierilett6053]

Had a blast with this! Sometimes my brain needs a holiday from faster more advanced level step classes. That’s why Chris’s workouts are the best…. There is something for everyone at a variety of levels! Thanks so much Chris! 😻

[@NormaK123]

Every day with Chris feels like a Holiday! That was my anonymous comment about pickleball on your blog. Didn't realize I was posting anonymously. Thanks again for all you do. NormaK

[@CDornerFitness]

AWE!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! I don't know why your name didn't come up❤️❤️❤️

[@carrietrombley5815]

What a great step class. Having fallen off the workout wagon, it was nice to get back on!

[@CDornerFitness]

Great job!

[@cazh582]

A weekend is as good as a holiday. Sun’s out in the uk, step done (day 7 now!) and feeling great. Thanks so much! 🎉❤

[@sabinemallaise3458]

Perfect workout after driving back from the holidays when feeling a bit sleepy 🙂

[@pattic200]

Wonderful class, I usually don’t do the advanced classes, but at the slower pace it was easier to figure out. Yes, keep practicing 😊#afterparty. Thanks Chris

[@CDornerFitness]

Wonderful!! So glad you liked it!!

[@carradale1]

After several months of no stepping or exercise much after a bike injury have just commenced a step again. Feeling sweaty but this put such a smile on my face. Thank you

[@knines527]

Perfect quick sweaty workout for a holiday! 🎉🧨🎆🎇

[@jackibrooksher2166]

So thankful you are having live workouts for the holiday!!

[@CDornerFitness]

You got it!!

[@coachkc2565]

3 days late and now a part of the after party 🎉 hopefully once I get into my new work routine I can join live again :) miss you all!!!!

[@ArielHartwig]

I did not take a holiday from exercising with you, Chris! It was fun getting back to basics and just having fun with it. Thanks so much.

[@judithb1094]

🎉❤it's my birthday so on holiday from work. What a wonderful highlight of my day❤🎉. Love your encouragement. It helps with the feel good vibes. Basic not boring, beautiful not clumsy. Thanks for bringing a grin to my face and heart.

[@CDornerFitness]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! YAY Thank you Judith!

[@Mom2my4blessings]

It was about 100 degrees outside and probably in my garage even with the doors open and fan blowing but I did it! I had to get this holiday started right. Thank you Chris!

[@annahaub2120]

Quick and easy step workout before you celebrate the upcoming holiday!! Thanks so much for putting this one together.

[@rehanamirza7493]

Great workout 🇨🇦

[@SRose-xm4qh]

Well… I thought basic step class would be a holiday away from my typical, fast basic to intermediate step workouts. Nope! I still broke out in a sweat, and my heart rate was up there! Chris knows how to keep tricking your muscle memory! No two workouts are ever the same! ☺️🔥🙌😅

[@CDornerFitness]

WOOO Great job!

[@MindyR82]

This felt like a fun holiday dancing 💃 with you to the steps 🎉.

[@rbec25]

I keep coming back to this workout. Its great. Are you able to do a long version of this one .

[@willowwitch88]

Absolutely love this video. I’m just getting back into step after a 30 year break, apart from one crazy class I went to where I spent most of the time stood on my step wondering which way I was meant to be going 😅. This is just the right pace for a beginner and you make it so easy to follow, plus your enthusiasm is infectious. Enjoying my morning step more than I ever thought possible, thank you so much. X

[@starlasuttles7334]

Happy Holiday. Nice workout.

[@martahiggs83]

A holiday is no excuse not to workout! You’ll not want to miss this fun basic step routine! I was smiling the entire time! Thanks Chris!!

[@CDornerFitness]

You are so welcome!

[@joanns2681]

Always good to get back to basics! Thank you

Me encanta tú energía. Gracias guapa. Saludos desde España.

[@Smascotti]

I’m taking a moment to be proud of Mr. Bill, who during this one proudly exclaimed, “Look! I think I’m getting it!” He then wanted me to tell you that he was 19 in ‘93. (He’s turning the big 5-0 in December!) Thank you so much for this great workout, Chris, and all your workouts! We LOVE doing all of these with you and WE will be doing them outside our RV in December from AZ. (What a great idea!) -Sarah

[@CDornerFitness]

AWE!! LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!

[@ashevillegeorge3316]

Thanks for doing what you do. Like I mentioned in another video about a week ago, my wife and I are trying to get back into STEP after a long break - our Y only offers one step class a week. Your classes are perfect for that, fun, 30 minutes (so far) at various speeds, good music and a great instructor! perfect for a couple of 70 year olds!

[@CDornerFitness]

WOOO YAY!! I love this!!!! Thank you so so much!! Young 70s are the best!!!!!!

I'm new and gradually working my way through your basics :) Thanks so much. I love the basic not boring workouts with great music. Definitely improves your mood too if you are not feeling great

[@sandradavey9014]

This is a great basic step really easy to follow if you just want to add a little something extra into your day or you want to give step a go, I don’t always have time to fit another class in I am so glad I managed this one today. Xx

Hi! 😊 I am so happy to have found this channel!!! I absolutely enjoyed the step workout and it is like old days for me…I actually remembered the queues 😅. Thank you for doing these videos and sharing the step link. I placed my order for the southern girl step this evening after doing this workout! This will definitely be in my weekly rotation now for my cardio. I’m looking forward to trying the other workouts too!

[@CDornerFitness]

Thank you! You too!

[@Jquattills]

hello Christina, I haven't done step in 30 years and I used to be a step instructor in the '80's and 90's. I've challenged myself to do a full on step class in June of this year and your videos are getting my back in shape to meet my challenge for this 60 minute class. You are so awesome and I look forward to your classes. I'm only on my second class (because I couldn't walk for 2 days :) after my first one. I'll be seeing you virtually again very soon. Oh, and I'm really looking forward to doing some weight and stretch classes with you as well. :)

[@CDornerFitness]

Welcome!! I love having instructors with us!! Thank you so so much for joining me!

[@Sophillychick]

I am sweating my ass off. I first did today 10 mins arms then this. Omg Louie was so cute when u asked if he wanted to go to Barbara’s. Thank u.

[@CDornerFitness]

HE is so funny! Thanks so much!

[@rosemarymerkel1801]

You're amazing

[@karenproietti8696]

This was awesome! I did step religiously in the 80’s and 90’s and have been looking for some that don’t go too fast and furious. Chris hits it just right every time. Thanks Chris and God bless America 🇺🇸❤️

[@londongirl-dt8hd]

I'm usually a one riser fast basic sort of gal, having 2 left feet (and between 3-40 right feet) I'd rather work hard at basic choreography and have fun than spend 30 mins looking like an octopus on ice with advanced moves. Anyho, thought I'd take a holiday from fast basic and do this quick (and easy!!??) beginners class and put in two risers OMG those extra 2 inches made such a difference, sooo challenging - really works the quads differently - you need the slightly slower music to give you time to "climb" up onto the step. V sweaty. I will go through your back catalogue and do your "easy" step classes with 2 risers. PS: Loved the uplifting music (so much better than cotton eye Joe!?!)

[@CDornerFitness]

WOOOWOOOOO Great job!!

[@marseysloumatis4753]

That was young Chris tho 😮

[@dorothytedeschi6334]

[@trynahrynuik8874]

First time to your videos...when you start after a break can you say which foot to start? Sometimes your clues leave out which foot

[@CDornerFitness]

Thanks for joining me!! I always start on the right

I'm doing now

I am so glad you are back and moving again!!! Take your time, I am proud of you!
