Finally! TY! I've been searching for a great step workout for a couple of hours. This is the best one I have found without all the twists and turns.

[@pobreviejo741]

Nice, simple athletic routine. I am pleasantly surprised as I had seen this kid in the back of Kathy Smith's videos and hers are good, but at times a little girly for me, even though I am female. He is simple, no-nonsense and motivating. Why hasn't he made more videos? I would buy this on a DVD.

[@carsoncore]

Thank you. I made some additional workouts that you may of heard of the Carmen Electra striptease series has a workout called Fit to strip that has good work out. Plus to get sexy series, surfer girl workout, Paula abduls cardio cheer we also did, but the industry got so fractured and it became so difficult to make profits from the workouts that I just made it challenging to create more. Fitinseconds.com is how most of my clients keep super lean.

Step Count: 4,525 / 2.8KM. Wow! Just simply awesome workout. Takes me back to the 90s when step aerobics was a REAL sweat-fest that worked your muscles through and not a complicated dance routine that is almost impossible to follow. Make sure to follow this first part with Part 2 also, which is about 22 minutes long. These two parts together will make up a 50-minute workout per excellence. Love it, Michael. Thank you so much for posting it. I'll be sure to come back to it over and over again. I wish you could post more. Thank you. :)

This is awesome. I'm into this kind of step workout routines, they're simple, yet they really make you work. Many instructors do really complicated choreographies that they're hard to follow or it's even hard for them to let you know what they're going for, 'til the point you lose patient. PS: I love the fact Kim King is on this video, she is a great instructor. I know her from the Jane Fonda's workout programs and she was NEAT!!!

[@carsoncore]

thank you Herny, I really appreciate that. I wish we could bring the step work out back to the main studios…

[@EzequielFerrari22]

@@carsoncore You're welcome! It would be great to have more material like this again! 🙂

[@Mbessofficial]

I am awful at step...mainly because instructors make it so choreographed like I’m a Broadway dancer and because they cue poorly. I also am not great at counting beats and reps. I have worked hard to do step and I can do this! Thank you for a cardiovascular challenge that is achievable.

[@CDornerFitness]

This one is so great!!

[@PaulEugene]

Excellent! Good cueing! No unnecessary complicated twirling in circles or dizzy step as I call it. It took me back to the days when I taught step and when cueing was so important!

[@knitsandroses]

Excellent. A real pro.

[@ladysleopat]

I was having really bad feet pains and I injured my shoulder doing someone else's video, but I find these old time workouts to be effective and easy on the body. I don't believe in no pain no gain. I think if you break up your body it does more harm in the long run. Thanks for these workouts, you don't know how much I sincerely appreciate them.

[@usausatraveling6054]

Fantastic, thank you Michael

[@carsoncore]

My pleasure! glad you have enjoyed it.

[@usausatraveling6054]

@@carsoncore Thank you for your answer. I wonder if you have new step aerobic lessons? Anyway your lessons are awesome

[@robyntattersall236]

I did this in the past, but I’d love to see you do just a basic step on you tube in the present without jumping ❤

[@davidrofulowitz7538]

This is a great step video that I will need to bookmark...I like how the movements are controlled, and particularly appreciate how Michael explained that the knee is NOT supposed to go beyond 90 degrees. I've taken step classes in the past from instructors who never explained that nor mentioned that you're not supposed to dance, bounce or jump on or around the step.

[@joyc8387]

Thank you very much It’s really easy step by step Hope make more plz

[@TheGreenupTime]

I have tried so many shoes, paying out money, yet none are giving me the side support I need. I feel like left foot is sliding over the side of the sole as I lunge or step with any force to my right. What reebok shoe are you using? It is Jan 3, 2021 and I have been to shoe stores from Nordstrom to Macy's to all shoe stores in mall. No one has step aerobic shoes anymore. They said I probable wont find any. I was talked into getting a hiking tennis shoe by asics. Thank you for your help. Oh and that was a killer, thank you. I hate the step videos that use language I don't ever want to understand nor do I want to dance during my step routine. Perfect!!!!!!!

[@sabhunt07]

Hey, I have stepped with you guys on Kathy Smith's Power Step! Right? Took me a while! Love this one, too. Thanks!

[@carsoncore]

Yup! That was three of us from this video in several of Kathy's. Fun times. 💪🏼

[@carsoncore]

Thank you! 🙏

[@Mbessofficial]

What is the track that starts right about 20 minute mark? “Make your move, sooner or later it’s up to you, it’s up to you what you win or lose?”

[@SandyKH]

Nice, solid step routine that emphasizes the vertical movement of going up and down. Good variety. Yes, you can do this!

[@carsoncore]

Thank you! Hard to believe it’s been 25 years since we shot it.

[@stephanietodd4333]

I think he was in the Kathy Smith Step video - what a cutie...

[@carsoncore]

hello Stephanie, you are correct. I was in many of Kathy Smith‘s videos :). here is one from last week that was from LA.:) Is that video was 27 years ago.……

Wow woman in red thong leotard looked hot. Must have been fun to be there

[@twoleftfeet9626]

This is an exceptionally basic workout, but perfect for people who have never done step, as it is very well cued. Intermediate or advanced steppers would die of boredom though

[@carsoncore]

Thank you Chrissie :). Definitely could use a sequel since it’s now 26 years old.

[@dalhurv76]

Muy buena clase,original ,Super,gracias por compartir !!!

[@p.3081]

Great workout

[@carsoncore]

payal Bhavsar thank you kindly.

[@davidrofulowitz7538]

Tried this video and found it a bit confusing...due to the weird camera angles wasn't sure which side of the bench I was supposed to be on. Will definitely have to watch this through a couple of times before having another go at it.

[@carsoncore]

David Rofulowitz In fairness it was shot on film by a movie director in 1994. It's a bit vintage 😊

[@davidrofulowitz7538]

Ok, well that explains everything then, lol! This was my first attempt, but I should have taken your advice and watched it thru first. I'm a pretty quick learner when it comes to step so I should be able to get the hang of it in no time! I still think it's a great workout though...

[@petragarcia382]

Que bendicion encontrar a alguien como usted sabe lo que hace motiva

This is the best of all

[@carsoncore]

Thank you! If near LA you should take my Equinox 7:30pm Thursday workout as my guest 🙏🏻

[@CTS55555]

What brand of step is this?

[@carsoncore]

Reebok 👍🏼

[@21elkaholic]

What type of shoes are you wearing

[@carsoncore]

21elkaholic they are some Reebok hiking boots I was breaking in for the Eco Challenge, that was a week later. They are awful for step workouts but looked cool at the time. Exoficio and Reebok were sponsors. That lack shirt with the zipper, not sure what wanna be navy seal look we were going for 😜

[@21elkaholic]

still looked cool, the blonde behind you ;) gotta love the long slouchy socks too, the 90s were cool

[@carsoncore]

21elkaholic it truly was a fun time!

[@jenniferbond7073]

21elkaholic I noticed them too. Thought they were hiking boots which I thought was odd for step. Sounds like Micheal wasn’t comfortable. Love the workout, trying it tomorrow. 😊

[@petragarcia382]

Hello old you guies has a good body bless old from The island of the beauty Puerto Rico love you guies

[@cubehunter2]

Why are these people wearing combat boots and not athletic shoes?

[@carsoncore]

I am the only one wearing those Reebok boots, but I wore them in a race called the eco-challenge a week after we shot this and I needed to break in the boots, they kind a looked interesting with the outfits so we took that style choice. It was a 300 mile expedition race and I needed to have the shoes broken in but had no time to go hiking. So this production provided me the breakin period time :-)
