What is a typical Body Step class like?
1. Warm Up- Warm up the body with simple aerobic moves.
2. Step Warm- UpLearn how to step correctly as we continue to warm the body.
3. Step Orientation- In this track, we gradually lift the intensity of the workout by increasing our range of motion and adding light propulsions.
4. Step Athletic- This is the first peak. It's time to lift the energy and your heart rate, break a sweat and climb higher with more athletic stepping moves.
5. Mixed Strength- Time to lower the step a level. We ease back on the cardio and place bigger demends on the legs and glutes for lower body strength and toning.
6. Power Peak- Power up for the second peak. We use the powerful stepping exercises and dynamic lateral movement to improve cardio and endurance fitness.
7. Step Recovery- Catch your breath with slower and more controlled stepping exercises to focus on balance and stability, and on lower body toning and sculpting.
8. Party Step- Let your hair down and have fun in this 'anything goes' part of the class. We use different themes and movement styles to create a party on the step.
9. Speed Step- A signature track for BODYSTEP®. Lower the step height and step faster for speed and agility training.
10. Peak- This is the third and final cardio peak, a physically challenging combination of dynamic propulsive exercises and strong lower body moves.
11. Recovery/Leg Strength/Pushups/Abdominals- Catch your breath as you work your gluteals and legs, then move to the floor for conditioning work for the upper body and abdominals.
12. Cooldown/Stretch- We stretch our worked muscles as we cool down, this completes the full body workout that is BODYSTEP®!
