Step aerobics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Step Aerobics was innovated by Gin Miller circa 1989.

It is distinguished from other forms of aerobic exercise by its use of an elevated platform (the step), which enables a more vigorous workout than can be achieved with "regular" aerobics.

One form of Step is called tap-free or smooth step in which feet always alternate without the ambiguous "taps" that can make learning step difficult for beginners.

Often moves are referred to as Reebok step moves in reference to one of the first makers of the plastic step commonly used in gyms.
