How to Do Aerobics Basic Left Exercise

In step aerobics, the basic left exercise is nothing more than a "left-footed" version of the basic right move. This step may be easier for left-handers and anyone used to leading with their left side. However, anyone can master this step aerobics move with these guidelines.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Step aerobics bench

1. Warm up your muscles for at least 5minutes by lightly marching or jogging in place. Stretch out your lower back.

2. Stand in front of the step facing forward. Your feet, centered in front of the bench, should be about a foot away from the bench, a comfortable distance for you to step up and down without straining your back, knees or hips.

3. Start with the left foot and, heel first, gently step up onto the bench. Place the entire sole of the foot on the bench. Don't let any part of your foot hang from the step.

4. Bring the right foot onto the bench and place it beside the left foot. Do not bend the knees or hop. Stand straight on the step.

5. Step down leading with the left foot. Place the left foot on the ground, toe first, followed by the right foot. Practice the basic left step until you are comfortable performing the move. Alternate the basic left step with the basic right step every 2 minutes or so.

Tips & Warnings

• Lightly step onto and off the bench for better control of the aerobics movement and to avoid injury.
