The Class
Part One: 35-minute low impact dance aerobics for fat burning, cardiovascular conditioning and lower body toning. Safe, fun and effective for all fitness levels.

Part Two: 25-minute one-on-one floor exercise segment led by Jane Fonda shapes and tones abs, buns and thighs

The Music
Unfamiliar to other Jane Fonda Workouts, Gary Scott has written a pulsating fun score of music in which the beats are connected to the pace of the workout.

The beats per minute (B.P.M) progression is important because exercising with this can maximize fat burning and healthy cardiovascular conditioning while strengthening muscles and joints. Towards the end of the workout, the music tempo slows whilst you cool down safely and effectively

Jane leads the 25 minute lower body workout section as well as the safety section at the beginning of the class.

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.

. 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.

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. Click Here for Step Purchasing Info
