Fun BASIC Step aerobics workout! Easy to follow, not boring, 128 BPM

[@KimmyGons]

Oh, boy, this was so much fun! I love how you give options (low and high) so that a basic step class can fit any fitness level or step experience. I know I say this all the time, but you are such a great instructor in the way that you break down the moves for us and cue them during the workout. Thank you so much!

[@CDornerFitness]

Awe thank you so much Kimberly! i just want everyone to have something that feels good for them!! You rock!

[@Paula-NC]

Third time and made it all the way through this time! Including 50% arms! I can't express enough gratitude for these workouts! Thank you!

[@Livy_xoxoxo]

I showed this to my 9 year old daughter and now she’s step’n! I’m so happy she likes it.

[@CDornerFitness]

YAY!!! I LOVE IT!

[@cherylnicholls940]

If you are a beginner stepper, here is where you start👍 Chris' clear careful cueing will have you stepping 'old school' in no time and her great step tutorials will get you there even faster. Loved the music, DJ 😁. Always so much fun😘

[@CDornerFitness]

AWE! Thanks Cheryl! I should message you for what your perfect playlist would be! LOL

[@emilyginter3017]

When you see "basic" and think you're a baddie...so you add all the risers and weighted gloves....typing this from the floor😵. Amazing as always

[@CDornerFitness]

HAHA! Love it!! Thanks Emily!

Getting back into the step after a long hiatus away due to 2 unexpected deaths in the family. But, came back and did THIS and the music and great routine made me realize just how much I miss stepping with you AND all the other workouts too! Thank you so much! This TRULY was not boring and made me smile! Your positivity and great instruction are both so very appreciated right now, Chris!

You rock Christina! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these and share!

[@christinejensen7651]

Thank you! I miss my step classes from the 80's and I've bought a step just to follow your classes.

[@sarahws1350]

Just did this one again because I needed something a little easier (for me) since I’ve been sick. I know I’ll do it again though with bigger moves when I’m feeling better. I love how your workouts can be modified to be easier or more challenging depending on where you are at. Thank you!

[@CDornerFitness]

Thank you Sarah! So glad you are feeling better!

YES!! You will get there Heather! Keep working on it!! Have you seen my playlist of tutorial videos? They have helped a lot of people get better with the choreography ❤️❤️

[@Rawveganfitness]

Good morning thank you for a basic quick step class to start the morning. Sometimes we need a fun step brain break. Awesome ❤

[@CDornerFitness]

You are so welcome!

[@incubusvixen]

THE best basic step workout ever!!!! I’m new to step (and have two left feet!) and I got through the entire choreography without too many mistakes. Being able to keep up keeps you motivated and with most step workouts you get frustrated and just don’t feel like continuing. The cues were absolutely perfect and I loved the playlist. Gonna come back to this for sure!!!!! Thanks Chris!!! -Ally🧡🧡

[@MariaRobare]

Great 90’s mix and perfect choreography for double risers and also not having to think too much at 5 am 😂. Thank you!

[@kimcorso2334]

This workout was perfect for my exercise "mood" this morning! I reluctantly dragged myself to my step bench today, knowing I didn't want to think too much or have to follow a lot of sequence changes. I just wanted to GET IT OVER WITH. And this was a really fun, calorie burning, mood-boosting cardio workout! This basic step video is already in my favorites! Loved it!

[@CDornerFitness]

YAY!! I am so glad you liked it Kim! Sometimes just getting started is all you need to do ❤️❤️

[@juliabrogli330]

I hadn't done step in 30 years but thought it would be a nice way to mix up workouts. This was enough to get my heart rate up but not hard to follow. I like the cueing as I do this with earbuds and my phone and I don't have to watch the video. Great for outside workouts. Thank you.

[@CDornerFitness]

[@claire308]

I loved this step! I added 2 risers as this one was basic and it was HARD!!!!

[@CDornerFitness]

WOOO Great job!

[@claire308]

That second riser is a killer!

[@toriafleming3399]

Instead of faster Beats per min tell participants to add a riser if they need to work harder! Faster BPM just create bad habits like bouncing which causes injuries over time. When we began step in the 80s step was much slower but instructors kept increasing speed till it was ridiculously fast by the 90s & beyond. Don’t let people pressure you to teach unsafe classes. I taught from the 80s till 2013 & I loved it. Your class is great & responsible, Thank You so much.

[@CDornerFitness]
