Top Approach in Step Aerobics

"The last approach we're going to discuss today is from the top of the bench. My movements would start on the top. When I start on the bottom such as a basic step, my movement counts are one, two, three, four where one and two are up. When I start from the top, my movement sequence is going to be counts one and two down to the ground so such as in a straddle down, straddle up, count. One, two, three, four, or I may have you remain on top of the bench and have you remain on top of the bench and do movements such as a lunge down to the side. Or perhaps from a front approach, I might mambo from the top of the bench. Again, so you can see the movement, I step up and I might mambo from the top. So our combinations as you see as we move forward will have front, side, astride, and top approaches to make a nice mix of choreography and increase the intensity of our classes as we move around the bench."
