Things You'll Need:
- A step (bench and risers)
- Cross training/running/shoes fit for exercising in a safe manner
-
Step 1
Stand facing your step, which should be situated so that you are facing the "long" side of the step. This is your "home" in step aerobics.
-
Step 2
Place your left foot onto the step. Always use your whole foot. The entire foot must be firmly on top of step, not half on, or hanging off the edge.
-
Step 3
Step your right foot onto the step. You are now standing on top of the step. Again, make sure that both feet are firmly and fully on the step and not hanging off.
-
Step 4
Step your left foot back down to where it was when you started, on the home side.
-
Step 5
Step your right foot back down where it started, on the home side
-
Step 6
Realize that you are now in the same position as you began. You stepped up with the left, then up with the right; then down with the left and down with the right to return home.
-
Step 7
Add speed. left up, right up, left down, right down. Repeat. You are now an expert at doing the basic left step in step aerobics.
