A Word About Step
Step aerobics is to group fitness what the immigration issue is to politics — divisive. Members either love it or hate it, walk out if the instructor taps, get confused if she doesn’t, one bench or four… As for me… I’m one who loves to take a highly-choreographed, super-advanced, prancing all over as many benches as we can fit in the room. But teaching it? Holy crap, I can barely cue one move every four counts and I seem to fall off the step at least once a quarter. (I’d like to blame my clubs slippery floors, but alas, I am that clumsy.)
So I admit it, I am a weak Step instructor. How, then, does one explain why one of the more popular classes at one gym where I teach happens to be my Step class? Is it possible to teach Step using the K.I.S.S. forumla and still keep die-hard Steppers satisfied? I dare say it is. Here are my secrets to satisfying all ends of the Step Spectrum.
