About Step Aerobics

Step aerobics uses a raised platform to add lower body resistance to traditional aerobic movements, burning approximately 276.7 calories per 30 minutes for a 155-pound person. The stepping movements strongly activate the glutes, quadriceps, and calves while maintaining continuous cardiovascular effort. Step height can be adjusted to modify intensity.

Step aerobics was one of the defining fitness trends of the 1980s and 1990s and remains a staple of group fitness schedules. It provides an effective cardiovascular and lower body workout in a fun, music-driven class format that many participants find more motivating than solo exercise.
