Step Aerobic & Abdominal Workout StepperHigh Energy!
No matter what level of fitness you are at, no matter what results you need or want, you will be safely and effectively challenged with the high energy aerobic & sculpting super-sessions of Jane Fonda's Step Aerobic & Abdominal Workout. Step Aerobics is so amazing, fun and it really works!

The Class
The two part program consists of:

1. 45 Minute Step Aerobic Workout
A high energy, low impart, cardiovascular conditioning routine that is fun, challenging and safe for beginners to advanced. Jane's top instructors lead you through simple and innovative steps with new high energy music.
Like the majority of Jane's workouts, the class is split in to two portions; high impact and low impact.
If you get too tired (or carried away!) just lower the intensity or omit the use of your arms in favor of the hands on hip method.
Every one on screen has so much vibrancy, which combined with fun heart pumping music, leaves you with so many natural highs that you can keep on going for the next level.


2. 10 Minute Abdominal & Lower Body Workout
A one-on-one workout with Jane that really works. Strengthen and tighten your abdominal's using the bench step for optimum results and safety.

Just in case you need the confirmation, Step Aerobic & Abdominal Workout does burn fat and tone, firm and sculpt the whole body. You engage every muscle in some way throughout this workout.

Jane Fonda Fitness Quest StepperThe Stepper
Learning the leg and arm movements when you're new to bench stepping is a challenge. We recommend concentrating on the leg movements first, and then, when these are familiar, adding the arms. Beginners might want to try following the routines without the bench for a while. Inexperienced steppers should start with a bench no higher that 6 inches. As your fitness improves, add bench height in 1 inch increments up to a bench height of 10 inches.
Purchasing:
There's nothing worse than having to take a long vacation on your fitness regime after an accident of stepping on to your box and it toppling over as you fall to the floor - selecting a good brand with positive revues & reputation is important.
One thing you certainly don't think of until you've actually made the purchase, is the bottom of the step bench: if it doesn't have a matt or rough rubberized surface, the whole stepper will either slide around or slowly move during the course of your workout. The ones used in this class are Official Jane Fonda Fitness Quest Steppers and can be purchased from ebay (Click Here for More Info)

Your SafetyJane gives the safety tips
At the beginning of the workout, Jane takes time to explain some basic safety tips for your class:

.
Place your bench on a level surface and test its stability before each workout.

.
Clean an area around the bench so you can move easily without obstructions.

.
Stand tall, shoulders down and back and lean forward from the ankles then stepping, not the hips, to avoid arching your back.

.
For most step moves, place your whole foot down on the floor when stepping on and off the bench to avoid calf strain.

.
Step onto the bench lightly with a heel/toe, heel/toe motion and off the bench onto the floor with a toe/heel, toe/heel motion.

Step Aerobic & Abdominal Workout is for all levels of fitness
The Workout is for all levels
. Most stepping is safely performed when the entire foot is placed in the middle of the bench; avoid stepping on the bench edges.

.
Stay close to your bench as you step on and off to avoid leaning and miss-stepping, and to allow the stepping leg to extend fully without locking the knee.

. Keep your main focus front (toward the TV) to avoid straining your neck.


.
Glance down at the bench from time to time to make sure you know where it is and where you're stepping.

. If you experience chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, extreme shortness of breath, light headedness, nausea, dizziness, or pain in your ankles, knees or lower back, stop exercising and consult with your physician before continuing.
