MID-TEMPO BASIC STEP AEROBICS CARDIO - 132 BPM - Stepper Workout 357

[@stephanierilett6053]

This was so much more than just a fun step class great choreography. We know that step is a great way to practice mindfulness and train your brain, its also an effective way to address perfectionism. People with perfectionistic tendencies feel uncomfortable when they can’t complete a task at the level they think they should. Allowing yourself the grace to make mistakes and being okay with it builds our tolerance for uncomfortable situations. How many times in life do we skip something that might make us uncomfortable and regret it later??? For myself it’s probably more times than I’d like to acknowledge. I’m seriously beginning to think that step holds the answer to all life’s problems 🤔🤣. Thanks for being real and showing us that we don’t need to be perfect, it’s more important to just show up! 😻

So glad I found this KZbin channel! I started doing step aerobics in 1995 and it was one of my favorite types of exercise for almost 20 years. Most gyms aren’t offering step classes now, and I’ve had a hard time finding another form of exercise that I enjoy for the past several years. I recently found these workouts, bought a step, and now I’m on my way to get back in shape! I love the music too…really enjoying these classes very much. Thank you! 😊

[@ben6837]

I am exactly the same. I was trying to thing of the few times I enjoyed working out, and step in the 90s was on top of my list. I bought as step and found these classes and Christina is perfect!! I also love working out at home, easy to add it into my day.

[@vanessaadolf8988]

‘JUST SMILE’…my favorite part of this workout! First- was the music really from the 90’s and 2000’s 😳🤣. I love intermediate to advance step but steppers who don’t do this because it’s slower are missing out on getting deep in the moves and fancying it up!! Thanks Chris!! I love step! ❤😊

[@jbee1440]

I LOVE that you don't edit. Your energy and instruction is fabulous! I'm so glad I found your channel!

[@StaceyEllen]

Hey christina, I think I found my go to class. This one was awesome I was able to do all the steps and keep up. I will look for 132 BPM . IT NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME... You're able to call out: start with the left -- when you're actually doing the right foot. You're MY favorite.

[@CDornerFitness]

WOOOO YAY!! Thank you so much Stacey!! I have a little secret...my screen is flipped, so I actually don't have to call backwards!

[@BevFerrara]

Brought me back to my clubbing days…well the songs from the 90’s. 😂 fun choreo! Thanks Chris!❤

[@helenpeel]

Have not completed a step class in years, had so much fun, Thank you very much for the great atmosphere, I'll be back. 😊

[@CheleCanWillDo]

Great add-on to strength day to get my steps in this morning with lower intensity. Love that you can laugh at yourself ❤️. We all make mistakes and it’s a great reminder to shake it off. Thank you!

[@karenstein6298]

This was so fun! I love how "real" your class is....hiccups and all. It's real life and glad you don't edit as we all need to be able to roll with life's little curveballs.

[@MariaRobare]

Basic does not mean boring! I was just moving and grooving and having fun! Music was a great selection. Thank you!

[@christineoakes764]

Pulled a muscle in my lower back last Friday so been doing mobility/stretching and walking. First day back to step and this was great fun (01.02.2024). Feeling much better and can touch my toes again. Thank you Chris

[@jeaniecoopersmith6130]

Chris, This was what you make it! I was beebopping to the great music you chose and had so much fun I didn't want it to end! I will be doin g tis workout again very soon!!💕

[@LaurenB-e4b]

I made an account on KZbin just to say how much I enjoyed this workout - I am SWEATING!!!! I absolutely love all of your workouts and find you so inspirational! Love your mindfulness and positivity! Can't wait to find more in your library, thank you 🤩

[@Paula-NC]

Great workout! I took a few breaks but am thrilled I made to the end! Thank you so much for the motivation and inspiration! Such great energy from a talented instructor! 💪

[@julie4034]

I use to love step in the 80’s and missed doing it and then I found this channel !! Christine you are amazing and this is just so much fun ! Thank you for a great step workout !!!

[@yvonnefall12]

Just found your channel after wanting to dig my vintage "The Step" out. Loving your workouts!

[@StaceyEllen]

Thanks!

[@melanie.3837]

Great music, choreography and tempo (BPM). It felt like I was dancing more than working out yet still had a strong heartbeat and sweated just the same! Perfect in every way. Thank you Chris!

[@pattyclark4167]

Have done this twice this week and love it. A couple of months ago my knees bothered me during step if the tempo was too fast or choreo too challenging. I have been diligently doing your workouts every day and my legs are stronger (thanks leg days) and I’m able to keep up and without pain during step workouts. Thank you so much! Love you and your fabulous channel!

[@jillhoyenga2365]

Best warm up ever! Thank you for all that you do to make fitness fun.

[@DianeWhiteway]

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for the workouts, I've been doing them since April, and love them. This is my current favourite and the first one I have been able to add some flair. You are so encouraging, keeping me going so I don't give up. Thank you sooo much 🥰

[@shelbygordon200]

This is one of my favorites things about you, you make mistakes❤. So many of the KZbin videos are filled with “Polly Perfects”, you are real and I love you for it❤. You are true to yourself, which helps all of us be true to ourselves. Thank you as always for being amazing❤

[@CDornerFitness]

Thank you so so much!! We all make mistakes and I am not anything near perfect!! YOU ROCK!

[@MichaelBond2013]

Brilliant class, thank you. Gym class was cancelled so this was a far more worthy substitute. I think it’s funny when the choreo goes awry, proves you’re human and makes you more endearing to us all.

[@pointitpaula9844]

I loved the music and the choreography! Fun and sweaty and I got 4200 steps to help towards my 10,000 daily! Thanks Chris! ❤️💪🏻

[@bindig.6704]

Love, love the choreography and was excited to know the steps. It wasn't always that way, it pays not to give up because eventually you will get it. The ending was great, isn't it wonderful to be human. Don't ever apologize for you, remember what you tell us, just do you ❤Love and Light ❤

[@MarkAllen-o5f]

Great workout! Normally an advanced to immediate stepper but needed to do a 6 AM workout. This was perfect! I could "step it up" when I got warmed up and got a great workout! Thanks for everything you do. I know it is a lot more work than people might think. Have a great day! Susie

[@gigimulanovich]

Have so much fun with this rutine 😎😀🙌🏻💖💖💖 Thanks 🙏💖

[@kamisundstrom6277]

Amazing!! I loved this one! Thank you for everything you do. Thanks to you I am finally working out consistently again😊

[@ashliwemett]

Your step workouts are the best! I love advanced, fast basic, slightly slower basic, intermediate, slower advanced, all of it! They are all fun and all give a great cardio workout. This one was no exception. Thank you!

[@danielmanktelow7477]

Thanks so much for the step class workout Chris. I really loved it .the fun and hard work at the same time .I really felt after the leg day workout though .in a really good way.the choreography was really fun..I love doing step.and I really love all your workout classes .I really enjoy the hard work with it as well Chris.thanks so so much.from daniel.

[@donnamarie1967]

Great music as usual. Another one completed while working. Took me 5 hrs but I finished 😂❤

[@janrossie5805]

Fab class - had no energy today but forced myself to give it a go! Feel amazing now.Thank you so much ❤

[@dorothyeveryday]

Perfect for a Friday morning after a night parent teacher conferences! Thank you, Chris!

[@TiniS-d9w]

You're good mood is contagious - even though I am huffing and puffing you still make me smile ❤ thanks for all you do!

[@CDornerFitness]

Thank YOU!

[@ssubramanian605]

Christina can’t thank you enough as I have been doing your basic step videos almost every day and see a big difference in how I feel energy wise. I tried steps decades ago and never was comfortable as everyone in the group class was so much better than me and it was intimidating:) but doing from home following your videos are so much fun and I am really enjoying them. Also it helps when you have multiple basic videos and for different time spans. It gives me a variety to pick from and also helps me even if I have only 15 mins of time in a day to work out. Really appreciate you helping us all with your easy to follow and fun videos. 🙏🙏

[@Katharine-gu1ql]

Another fun routine with awesome music! Thank you as always Chris for your creativity and enthusiasm! 🙏☺️

[@nancylloyd7147]

This is one of my favs! It’s a feel good work out for sure!Thank you Chris!

[@CDornerFitness]

You're so welcome!

[@lynnnicol2250]

thank you Chris. great beginner step For those who are quick to criticize, It takes many hours of practice, to create a routine to the music and to memorize each move for you! Ya Chris made a mistake, Maybe one.... How many did you make taking the class, learning the routine? So the next time you feel it necessary to complain, DONT! Instead think how hard she worked to bring this routine to you for FREE

[@CDornerFitness]

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH LYNN!!!!

[@mmmstitch]

This was the absolute perfect workout for me right now. Fast enough and long enough to get my heart rate in the zone, and simple enough choreo that I could do it all without substitution. I don’t mind substituting, but sometimes it slows me down a bit. Anyway, this was spectacular for me today. So grateful to have found your channel.

[@Mom2my4blessings]

This was a fantastic step class! I enjoyed the music as well. It brought back lots of memories. I mess up all the time including during this workout. Thank you Chris!

[@zenitamalm8983]

Oh one of my favorite songs I love your smile, also for this fun session and with the world's best Chris! Thanks for that🥰🥰

[@janewolyncewicz1945]

Never worry about the occasional mistake you make. We all appreciate the work you put in to the classes and it helps us keep on the ball with what’s coming next! I really enjoyed that class. I was a bit of a grump at the start - didn’t feel like exercising- but now I feel so much better!

[@donnadobson9793]

I’m BAAAAACK!!! 3 months post knee replacement!! God is Great!!!

[@sheilafisher9393]

Hi, Chris! OMGoodness. Three things. One, I LOVE your workouts. I've lost over 30 pounds doing them and have gained so much strength and endurance. Two, I knew you were going to "lie"...I just didn't think it would be during the warm up and the cool down. LOLOLOL. Third, I love that you don't edit the mistakes. The authenticity is refreshing. You are both professional and real. Thank you for your dedication. Now let me go get this sweat out of my eyes! 😅😅😅

[@jenniferdujakovich4532]

thank you for another wonderful class - I needed the endorphins today and you aways deliver! I love your energy and positivity - keep up the great work ♥

[@alessandrafalconi9370]

Easy, simple and fun! Thank you so much Chris! 🙂🥰

[@AmandaMatthews237]

Ok... knew I was facing hours in the car yesterday so pressed play 5 am ! And this made my day !!! Moving and singing before a long drive..looooooved it! Thanks for making my life a bright light Chris !

[@teresarocagil]

I have been healing from an ankle injury I suffered five weeks ago. Now I am slowly starting to strengthen so I can give my all in classes again. I've missed you. I'm back. Finally I can tell you again OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ!!!

[@Omi_Palomi_NH]

My mind, muscle, memory kicked in super high today. I had not realized how much I have improved over the past 9 months. This is the workout routine that had me at basic right...from there it was amazing for me to make the connection to your instruction without having to watch what you were doing. This is a huge NSV for me and one that I will be sharing with my healthy living group. You are amazing....

[@CooksAndLooks]

I love this ! I feel like I am at my Fav Gym with my Fav Instructor …. I am forever grateful thankyou ❤😊

[@katherinebecvar]

This was really fun! This was the second time EVER that I was able to use a riser for the whole class! Starting small and making little changes along the way - stronger and fitter every day!

[@vena2122]

Perfect to get back in business - Love the music and choreo , thank you ❤

[@judya8392]

Loved every minute of it!!! Thanks, Chris! You never cease to amaze me🎉❤

[@nancyhughes9273]

I LOVE your workouts and especially your step workouts! I have done step aerobics since before Rebok made a step. Our group enlisted the help of a local carpenter to build our steps out of wood, which was a workout just getting them to the gym!! I started back with your videos at the start of 2024, attempting to get my mojo back after having both knees replaced in 2022. (Knee issues had nothing to do with doing step all those years.) Thank you for such clear directions and attention to strengthening the whole body. Glad I found you to go with me through by journey back to a regular exercise program.

[@kimsmall2519]

This step was so much fun!!! I loved the choreography & the music was a blast. This was exactly the step class I needed this morning, I’m energized & ready for the day ahead. Thanks Chris for keeping us moving & having so much fun in the process ❤

[@sabinemallaise3458]

great workout, thanks for helping wake up this morning 🥰

[@Georgia_fromJA]

This was just what I needed tonight - super challenging, sweaty, and so much fun (great music!!). I almost gave up midway through but something told me to take the riser off of my step and KEEP GOING. I’m so glad I did. I’m very hard on myself so for me not using the riser makes me feel like I failed. Im trying to break myself out of that negative thinking 😊.

[@pattic200]

That was a great class Chris! People can be so rude, especially when you don’t charge a fee for your site. I love all of your classes and you are by far my favorite exercise instructor, thank you.

[@suzannehickling333]

Another great workout, thanks Chris you make working out so much fun 😊 ❤

[@swiftbrookfarm]

Loved everything about this workout - music mix, moves, mistakes! Thank you for reminding us we don’t have to be perfect. ❤❤❤

[@deblandis8393]

Tried to concentrate on being "lighter" on my feet in this fun, easy to follow workout. It was also good brain work before leaving for work this morning. And for any new steppers...please give the "Learn Step Aerobics" tutorials on Chris' channel a try. For me they were well worth my time repeating.

[@Georgia_fromJA]

This was so much fun! Basic definitely does NOT equal boring.

[@SandeeMae]

Awesome class, Chris! Thank you for your energy and great moves!

[@lauraw7635]

This class was awesome!!! I was loving shaking and baking to Cher's "Strong Enough"!! Thank you so much for a wonderful workout Chris!!!

[@christinejenkins2586]

Loved this one. Your cues are so good and I am so glad to have found you and your workouts!

[@EvaBarbaro]

Fun✅Awesome choreography ✅Great music ✅Best INSTRUCTOR EVER ✅ Love you Chris❤

[@judybeem9853]

Great step for an easy fun step, sometimes this is what we need. Good music, enjoyed it Chris thank you.

[@jillrude9681]

Awesome step workout to start my morning. Loved the music and the choreography. Your step workouts never seem basic to me, but I was able to keep up with this one and realize how many moves I have learned. That shake and bake is so fun to do! I was smiling and sweating away.

[@jasene22]

Chris, I didn't even notice the mistake at the end. As another trainer says, "if you're moving your winning!" We all kept moving! Fun step class! Mistakes are life, perfection is a lie. Progress not perfection! Thanks for being Real!

[@WarEagle23]

I really wasn’t feeling a workout, but I told myself to push through my mood and just do it. I am always amazed at how a workout can make me do a complete 180! The steps and the music were awesome and I was smiling big half way through! Thank you! ❤

[@tammyoliveira1716]

Thank you Chris for another great step class. i found your channel just over a year ago. i was over weight, my body ached and I was depressed with how i felt and looked. I started slow and there were times when I felt frustrated and discouraged but I didn't give up. Now I'm doing intermediate/advance step and alternating strength classes 6 days a week. Today, I tried, for the first time, to use risers with this class AND I did it!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your motivation, words of encouragement and for making it fun.

[@CDornerFitness]

WOOOOOOO YAY!!! Great job and thank you so much for sharing this!! I am going to read this as a comment of the day!!! Keep up the hard work Tammy!!

[@lindaborcky9781]

Just what I needed to get through a workout today! Sometimes basic is the best way to get it in. Thank you!

[@LeslieKestin]

Here about a month incognito...#395 got me to finally giggle. Completed 85% of the steps without a mis step. I'm a proud newbie. Many thanks for the fun.

[@suewydrenski3320]

I got to attend live yesterday to do this on. Super fun!!

[@WasagaWendy]

I tried the dance class but the live was too hard for me. I will save it for later and try again, This step class was excellent. Thanks, Chris, for always challenging me and getting me out of my comfort zone 😊

Try try try, don't try to talk yourself out of something that you think you can't do, you may surprise yourself like I did! Thank you Chris! You really have helped me change my life over the last couple years! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@anastasiiaschoenenberger]

Did this fun cardio instead of running on a rainy day. I loved the workout, the music and the tempo, it was perfectly fitting for me today and i could better understand and follow the routine. Step by step i am going to improve my step skills with your great workouts.

[@KinziDill-iq2mg]

Did this one this morning. Great music and moves - as always! Love your channel and workouts 🎉

[@LuciaTornetta]

I absolutely LOVE your step classes....oopsies and all! Music is always fun and fresh, chroreo on the basic step videos are easy to follow and easy to up the intensity for an experienced stepper. So glad I found your videos! Do a live step class local somewhere in Montgomery county so I can come LIVE live! 😂

[@wonenn1306]

For some reason I kept wanting to take the knee straddle around the world 😂 I had fun anyway and that's what counts !! Thank you for the workout Chris !

[@RainbowNeal19805]

Every new step workout I do becomes my new favourite. But this will be my new favourite for a long time!!! Loved it ❤ especially the itchy nose at the end

[@shelley3064]

I love OUR mistakes, we live and learn by them 🤩👏👏thanks Chris! I loved the pace and the music, Janet Jackson, Adele & Beyonce it doesn't get any better!!!

[@MaryM_AZ]

Love the music and choreography as usual. Did the Pitbull segment twice bc I had such a good flow and that song brings back such fun carefree memories for me 😊 As a recovering perfectionist I love that your classes are live so we all experience hiccups together. Life is meant for living, laughing and learning not robotics 🤖 Love ya, Chris, keep being your amazing self ❤

[@clairepeet3610]

Loved this! Fab trainer will definitely be doing more of your workouts

[@CDornerFitness]

YAY!! Thank you so so much Claire!! Welcome!

[@michelleg2112]

Another super approachable, fun routine.

[@paulaevans7743]

Thank you for a super fun and challenging workout! When I started, I wasn't sure I could keep up with the faster beat. However, I'm proud to say I made it through the entire video. It wasn't always pretty, but I made it and am drenched with sweat. 💦 Can't wait to do it all over again! 🤩
