Hi Jenny, I love your step aerobic workouts! Your directions and routines are great! I took my step platform out of storage in my garage back in March 2020 to be intentional about NOT gaining the "Covid-19" during this time and I have lost 41 pounds from March to November 2020 doing many of your step classes 6 days a week! Hurray for me, and thanks to YOU!
+Keith McCloskey Thank you so much! I'm so happy you've been enjoying my step workouts. Thank you so much for your kind words too! That means so much! =)
Jenny...I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your workouts. I was one of those people in the 90's going to step classes at the gym. Truly, i miss those days...but this is even better. Your fun routines are done from the comfort of my home and I still have my step. As a school teacher I always use the summer to get myself in better shape and prepare for the next year. Your workouts are making me feel awesome. I will be 53 in a week and I feel better than ever! Thanks so much! You are an A plus teacher. Lots of love...Laura
Day 22 of my 30 day challenge and still going !!! I can't believe I have been active for 22 days in a row , every single day !!! Hoorayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!! Thank you Jenny Ford as always for keeping me motivated !!!!
I love this step video. The progression from showing the movements to the combos is great for people like me with little coordination! And so much fun!!!!!
I feel so good after this workout. I was looking at the percentage thing at the side at times thinking, "Whoo, I'm ready to be done" but the beautiful California scenery and fun music kept me going!
+Kendra Smith I love that you say that! Most of my participants really love the percentage timer. It seriously helps to know how much more you have to go! Great job!
I loved the variety of moves using steps on the floor as well! The different number of steps kept my brain challenged too! I am grateful for all your efforts, past and present!
I love all of your workout sessions especially the step and weight combinations, but the California Malibu Step workout is my favorite! The last segment of choreography connected straight through on right and left sides is the most fun!
Made it to combo 4. Very fun! Maybe next week I can do the whole thing. Now on to the Oceanside core workout. It's a Cali workout night : ) Love your creativity!
Thanks Jenny - this has inspired me to go for a lovely walk with the dogs on the beach! I am very fortunate to live near several beaches here in Cornwall, UK :) So a step workout and a lovely walk - exercise, exercise, exercise ...feeling much better already, after only 8 days of the challenge! Thanks once again Jenny x
elisa williams Oh wow, how wonderful to live by the beach. I've been to Torquay before, but would love to visit Cornwall someday. So very pleased you're feeling great, and thanks for participating in my challenge. =)
I know this is an old workout but I’m just back to doing step and found this amazing workout! Combo 3 is my favourite!! Thank you Jenny. I love all your step workouts!! Your enthusiasm is infectious! 💛💛💛
Hello Jenny. I really enjoy your outdoor workouts. You choose so nice and inspiring views. This workout is quite challenging. My heart rarely goes racing like it did today, but I stuck with you until the end of these 42 minutes, sweating a lot! Thank you so much. Thanks to your workouts I got from obesity to overweight within the last 3 months. Thank you so much.
I did it ! yes this one! OMG ! so excited didn't think I could and this fast! but thanks Jenny ... your work outs got me to where I wanted to be and fast Wow..!
I know this is an old video but I love these combos. I just started stepping again after years of not doing cardio in Feb. I am using my self isolation time to get back in shape and this is the BEST one so far. Thank you Jenny for being so upbeat and motivating. Cardio is really helping my depression and anxiety too. LOVE this!
Thank you, Jenny! I love your variety of venues and length of videos. Your voice is melodious, and your attitude is wonderfully contagious! I'm sweating like a pig, if pigs could sweat! Thanks again!
After years of doing your videos, I *just* discovered this video this morning! I loved it! It has some fun, different moves and it was just what I needed to get myself motivated again! Thanks!
Dear Jenny! Thank you so much for this workout! It's a bit challenging for me, but it's fun to do! it feels like dancing and brings me in a great mood.
Hi Jenny, i come from Germany and love Step Workouts. Last i do it 10 Years ago. I found your Video here on youtube and few days later i bought my personal Stepboard :D. At time i can´t finished one of your Combo´s but i tray. I love all Combos :) Thx for your work and upload! Greets from Munic :)
Lisa Steinherr You are so welcome! Wow, Germany! That's awesome. I love that you bought yourself a step! I am sure you'll get to where you want to in no time at all... you're so great! All the best to you!
Tried this one today and loved it, the repeaters at the end really made me make a final push! I usually like your more "dancy" routines but I did enjoy this one and will do it on days that I'm feeling less dancy and more athletic! Thanks for all of your wonderful videos!
Jenny! Thank you for making me sweat and laugh. This workout was fantastic! I so appreciate your clear guidance and encouragement. You: got this? Me: no, but I'm trying!!
Thanks so much Managamasplymiad , also really appreciate the email you sent. I finally got a moment to respond to you last night. Thanks for your lovely words, and support. Keep in touch! =)
I love my downloaded purchases from you! I can use them any time and they are harder than these free ones, imo Thanks again for doing this for everyone!
Thank you so much for your video's! This way I can workout at home in the sleeping hours of my babyson and get back in shape. After years missing steps aerobics due to kneeproblems, I wanted to try again and looked for workouts I could do at home. With your video's, I can work out again without any pain and whenever I want/can. After three weeks I am addicted again :) Thanks a lot for making and sharing the workouts. Greetings from the Netherlands! Daphne
Daphne Ronde-van Tilburg You are so welcome! It is for people like you, who need to be able to workout at home, that I make my workouts. So I am so pleased that my workouts are working for you. Way to go Mama! Keep up the great work--and thanks for spending your workout time with me. =D
just tried this for the first time as i couldn't get to the gym or out for my couch to 5K as my hubby is at work and my kids are in bed, but i loved it. got my heart rate up n sweating, confused at times but i soon caught up. i love your videos so glad i came across them:)
Helen Freudenberg oh that is just perfect! Seriously so happy you were able to get a workout in from home. You are awesome!!! Good luck on your training for you 5K! That's so great!
This was an absolutely wonderful workout! In my 2nd trimester now and this was a perfect tempo to keep up with. And LOVED the scenery! Thank you for posting!
Thanks so much Lane Bradfield it was SUPER fun to film.... even though I had lots of cat calls coming from the Pacific Coast Highway while I filmed. ;)
hi Jenny, at first I was working out with the basic 3 combo workout. And just now I finished this one, and really liked it! It's a little bit harder with the combinations, but I loved it. And gonna do this again tomorrow :)
WHY DO PEOPLE SO LOVE THE CLOCK .I see your adding the precentage which I do not like but I can live with I am sure you are doing it for the people which I love. When starting your basic are thy complicated as you go or is there a order to grow with your videos ? I so want to learn but some were a bit complicated. SO I went to beginners that now is a bit easy and now moving forward? Is there a do this one first so you can learn versus ? I so want to learn how to do all your videos even the advanced and do hope you will continue to make them... Expecially with wieghts. .. Thank you for what you do .. .You are making my life so much more happier. I am no longer depressed about some things, loosing weight and look forward to life! After 3 maj ops now getting back with my health and you are making easy ! "THANK YOU!" !
+Priscilla McDaniel, I have playlists for you, and you can work your way through whichever workouts you'd like to try. Then once you've mastered one, you can move on to the next. Here's a link to all of my playlists: th-cam.com/users/JennyFordFitnessplaylists
Another awesome workout! Love your choreography in this one. Just when I think I have found a favorite of yours, I try a different one and love it!!! I did your most recent one yesterday (should have commented on it there,lol) Short and sweaty. Pleasantly surprised😅. I'm so happy I found you. I get bored with cardio, and you have been the only one I can stick with. So thank you!
Hi Jenny! I've been doing your work outs for a month and you have become my fitness partner. I enjoy doing differents routines and I love this one!! Big hi from Australia!!
Love this new workout, Jenny! The moves are fun, a little different, but simple to follow - especially with your excellent direction. Love the "rock step" and the "hamstring sway" - tons of fun, and easy to ratchet up the level by just adjusting my own intensity. Especially important to me is that it's easy to do in my limited workout area; I really don't have room for routines like Unexpected Step (although I wish I did!!). Awesome - and another 3 pounds gone!!
Oh great work Anne Henrich that's just fantastic! Congrats! Love your feedback as well. So pleased you're enjoying my latest step workout. Boy, I'm going to have to start working on a new step one soon. (That'll be fun!)
Mita M Just so you are aware, my editor/producer just went into pre-production on a film, so it may be a few months out before it's edited. But, I did get it filmed. Thanks Mita for your support and feedback as always! I'll tag you when it gets close to being done.
(Claudia vetro') - 1 day ago hello Jenny is nice but not your best... for me your best step routine is unexpected step... wonderfull!!! bye bye Reply · (Jenny Ford) Thanks so much +Claudia vetro' (Mita M) - 1 day ago Jenny, I did this routine for the first time today, had watched it a couple of times to get familiar with the moves, absolutely loved it. Only during the warm up I felt like you were going faster than the music, the rest was fun and a great workout. Cuing is everything in step aerobics and you are excellent at it. You give us time to get used to the moves. To some the routine might be repetitive but for me it was perfect :) I was too focused on the routine, could not see your hubby and baby boy in the background :) Looking forward to the next one :) Reply · (Jenny Ford) - 1 day ago THanks +Mita M , I'll take a look at the warm-up. I suspect the music might possibly be a little out of synch. I'll check it out. As always so appreciate your feedback. It is so spot on! You are so right, cueing is everything in a good step workout. REally appreciate your support and for working out with me. =D Reply · (Blima Spetner) - 2 days ago Wow can't wait. Thank you for taking the time to reply Reply · (Kyanne Jeanne) - 2 days ago Great i love your steps... Greetings from Holland.. (stayseaLY) - 3 days ago Thanks for another great step workout. Your cuing is spot on and the choreography held my interest without being too complex. I just finished and I feel great. Reply · (Jenny Ford) - 2 days ago Yay +stayseaLY that is amazing! So happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing! Reply · (Blima Spetner) - 3 days ago As always lots of fun. Can the next workout you make have less breakdowns and more moves for us advanced exercisers that have workout add: :))? Reply · (Jenny Ford) - 2 days ago Thanks +Blima Spetner ! I've had a few requests for a little more advanced step workout. I'm thinking of doing a Step by Step 4 sometime this year. I bet it would be what you're looking for. Thanks again for the feedback! =D Reply · 1 (Elżbieta Kukułka) - 3 days ago Thank you Jenny :) I love this one. I will practice the new moves to make it better and more dynamics like you. Greetings from Poland, we have wonderful sunny weather, after the rainy and flood days. Reply · (Jenny Ford) - 2 days ago Appreciate your post +Elżbieta Kukułka , and so happy you enjoyed the workout. YAY for sunny weather too! We're getting warmer days here too. Summer is nearly here! All the best! Reply · 1 (Philip Santiano) - 3 days ago Jenny I just want to acknowledge you for helping me lose 33 lbs and 22 inches off my body. Thank you for all you do xo Reply · (Jenny Ford) - 2 days ago Oh wow +Philip Santiano that's amazing! It is so wonderful to hear that. Your success is truly inspiring. Would you mind if I shared your success on my website? Would even LOVE a picture to feature as well. Think about it and let me know. Really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Means the world! =D Wishing you continued happiness and health. Reply · (Clarice .Ho) - 4 days ago Thanks so much for the new step!!!! I have been anticipating for so long :) :) I loved the difficulty level - new moves but not too challenging. Really appreciate you and your team taking time to plan and film these workouts! Reply · (Jenny Ford) - 2 days ago +Clarice .Ho so glad it met your expectations! It is truly our pleasure to post these workouts for you and everyone. Thanks for your comments. =D Reply · (Laura Schmuck) - 4 days ago Rating 10!!!! First, Your cueing was excellent. Second, Your moves were simple but the combos made them more challenging. Third, You give us time to master the moves, and last, but not least, it was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the best step aerobic teacher that I have worked out with and you made it doable for people who can't do all those fancy manuevers that others steppers do. Love ya Jenny! Keep them coming! Reply · 1 (Jenny Ford) - 4 days ago Oh this is such great feedback +Laura Schmuck , thanks so much! You made my day!!! My week!!! Love you too wonderful lady! Thanks as always for your support, your encouragement, and for testing out my workouts, and giving me feedback. You're the best!

Jenny!! Been awhile since I commented! I had to take a break from Step due to knee issues but I'm back! Finally tried this workout and wow!!! This is my new fave! Love this! Love the new moves and combos! They are easy but not boring or anything! I burned 500 cals and peaked at 180 for heart rate! Wicked!! As always thanks for the great workouts, great cueing and your motivation. I keep saying this but I seriously wish I lived closer to your studio! I'd be there everyday for a class! :) Thank you Jenny!!
Cassie Hub Wow! Thanks so much! I'm sorry to hear about your knee problems, but so happy you are back up and stepping. 500 cals, wow really great work! I wish you were closer too, I would SOOOOO love having you in my classes. As always you are so welcome, and such a joy! I appreciate your support and encouragement a ton! =D
I always forget how much this one kicks my butt!! First combo.. Step over rock..good but nothing crazy, but then it's split steps then knee lunges then Charleston's, then knee pump repeaters and finally those 3 knee repeater swims.. Gets me every time! 2nd to last set of the Charleston's I didn't know if I was going to make it.. But gentle tap on the shoulder and a "keep it up" from the hubby and got through it all :)
+Cassie Hub I love this! You're simply amazing! I'm with you there, it's a lot harder than you think. I'm very happy you have such a loving husband cheering you on. You did absolutely phenomenal! I love it!
what a great workout i had today! After you know the routine well, it gets super fun and as you say you can really work it...I appreciate and absolutely need the reminders to use my arms and to tighten my core with the knee lifts and such, I dont think im doing the hip flexor exercise properly I push my pelvis forward but dont really feel any type of stretch in the hip area. thanks again
Hi terry schaffer , so pleased you are continuing to like this workout so much. I will continue with 'reminders'. Glad they help. So for the hip flexor stretch, standing with one leg in front, (full foot on the ground) other leg behind, (like a mini split) lift the back heel up, curl your pelvis under, tighten your glutes, neutral spine, but slightly pressing your hips forward. See if that helps. Thanks for the feedback. :)
I have to say that I LOVE your videos! Your are so easy to follow and weirdly it feels like you're in the room with me. I've 'graduated' up from the basic 3 move combos, and even though some people may find this pretty basic (to me it isn't lol), it's perfect for getting my heart rate up and burning calories. I can't wait to try some of the more challenging ones in the future. It is so true that you get out what you put in. I've been doing your classes - including the marching and 'ghastly' abdominal one (I say ghastly because I felt stuff in my stomach area that I haven't felt for years...and it wasn't that pleasant lol!) a couple of times a week for the past month or so, and combining that with just eating better I am down 15lbs. Slow and steady is my plan, and the good thing is that I see this as something I can do forever, not just until I hit the 'right' weight. You've shown me that exercise can be fun and rewarding, and that it's not a punishment for eating too many pies! Keep up the good work!
nummulite99 Your comments are incredible! I love your positive attitude, and WOW, way to go!!!! You are doing awesome! Slow and steady is the best way to go, I love it! Thank you for taking the time to write me. You really made my day! And, thank you for chosing me for your workout time. I feel honored! =)
I used to teach freestyle group exercise and had I Of tried to teach this we would of ended up doing the Macarena and calling it a day haha I enjoy doing this tho!
Are you still doing You tube work outs your fantastic and you are really getting me back into exercising after 3 years of ops so love you so Thank You for your WO's
love all your workouts. you are fantastic! thank you so much! I agree that the syncing of the music with the moves seemed a little off on this workout in the beginning. other than that I love all your videos. Thnx for getting me into stepping again!
Hi Jenny, this workout was great--just the right pace and good progression of moves. I loved especially the lighter dancier music in the middle. I wonder if you have a beginner video that is at this same pace or a touch slower. I did one beginner one of yours last week thinking that because I was especially tired it would get me moving slowly, but it was very fast paced--a great workout for those who are beginning step as the moves were easy, but I felt that the pace was like a jog!
luminouswithhope So pleased you enjoyed Malibu Step. Really appreciated your feedback. Have you tried this one here called Step by Step: th-cam.com/video/y2gBj9VZBQ0/w-d-xo.html Or you could try my Step Aerobics w/3 Combos: th-cam.com/video/KrexdnXTPYU/w-d-xo.html Or my latest Beginner Step Aerobics: th-cam.com/video/X0EkLFNMTgA/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
You are so very kind as to write me back in your busy schedule omg! thankyou ... I do have just one question left and again want to thank you for all you do... "What I want to know is when doing the videos through Beg. then Bas. then Inter. and then Advan. am I to follow each video that you have for each which I am now on Basic . Do you have a which video helps to grow with the Basics like which basic should i do ? I guess I want to know should I just do each video in each class and it will teach me as I go to do the basics or is there a order to go by ? Again thank you so much for your time.🏋🏼😅❤☺🎉🎈
Oh that's great! I'm glad you found my Learn to Step program on my website. I need to update it with a few more workouts I've uploaded recently so I'll do that soon. Thanks Priscilla!
Here's a link to my Learn to Step program. I need to update it with a few more workouts I've recently posted. But you can check it out here: jennyford.com/learn-to-step/
Bloody brilliant! Just did it fir the first time and probably exercised my brain as much as my body... thank you for producing such brilliant workouts Jenny, you make it hella fun as well as incredibly effective! (If my sweating is anything to go by!) Ps. Is there a way of calculating the approx. calories burnt in the separate workouts?
Jenny, I enjoyed the ocean in the background in this workout. I have a question. I am using a 4-inch step, and I would like to know how many calories I burn with your workouts with a step this high.
Sherri Boekweg GREAT question! I always hesitate to tell people how many calories they can burn, as it really depends on quite a few factors. The most accurate way to know of course is to use a Heart Rate monitor. BUT, having said that, for example, in an hour session of step, I would estimate, 400 calories and up, depending on how much energy you are able to put into the moves. Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions.
Quick question...I have one of the type of Steps that you can add or take away risers to make it higher or lower. How much more calories are burned with using double risers as opposed to single risers? Or no risers? I like to vary the height of the step on different days for variety and was just wondering. Thanks in advance
+Amy Judd Thanks! We filmed this one early afternoon I believe. It was a colder day, absolutely perfect for sweating! I don't use cue cards. I put together the workouts and practice and practice, and memorize the moves. I would say it's something I discovered later in life as a talent. I believe anyone could do it however with enough practice. Hope that answers your questions. =) Are you thinking of teaching group fitness?
Hi Jenny, is it true that step aerobics bulk up thighs and glutes? Step routines have become my staple although I mix it up with other routines as well. But I have always had heavy thighs and this worries me a bit.
Mita M- I have never heard research about Step bulking up thighs and glutes. In fact, it is more known for helping to tone and slim the legs and glutes. I am pleased to hear you mix up your routines, and remember you saying you enjoy strength training too. =D As long as you are balanced in your workouts.... not too much of one thing, and then of course a mindful eating regimen. (For me, I do at least 2-3 full body weight sessions per week, never back to back--and cardio at least 3 times per week, with one stretch/relax/yoga day. ) Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Nice to hear from you Mita!
Hi Jenny, I am 57 Polish woman who loves your step aerobics, thank you very much

@Marco Davian Flixportal xD
Hello Jenny. I really enjoy your outdoor workouts. You choose so nice and inspiring views.
This workout is quite challenging. My heart rarely goes racing like it did today, but I stuck with you until the end of these 42 minutes, sweating a lot! Thank you so much. Thanks to your workouts I got from obesity to overweight within the last 3 months.
Thank you so much.

Perfect thank you Jenny

Loved the swim over head thing move with the three knee repeater
Taylor Ross Oh yes, I love that one too!
Tried this one today and loved it, the repeaters at the end really made me make a final push! I usually like your more "dancy" routines but I did enjoy this one and will do it on days that I'm feeling less dancy and more athletic! Thanks for all of your wonderful videos!
Trish Trace Oh that is great feedback! Thanks so much, and I appreciate you trying a new one out! You're so welcome!

Thanks scooterose100 so happy you enjoyed it! And my pleasure!
Fantastic! I had sooooooo much fun!!!
I love my downloaded purchases from you! I can use them any time and they are harder than these free ones, imo Thanks again for doing this for everyone!
Thank you so much for your video's! This way I can workout at home in the sleeping hours of my babyson and get back in shape. After years missing steps aerobics due to kneeproblems, I wanted to try again and looked for workouts I could do at home. With your video's, I can work out again without any pain and whenever I want/can. After three weeks I am addicted again :) Thanks a lot for making and sharing the workouts. Greetings from the Netherlands!

How have I never done this workout? It's amazing!

Helen Freudenberg oh that is just perfect! Seriously so happy you were able to get a workout in from home. You are awesome!!! Good luck on your training for you 5K! That's so great!
Great instruction and pace! I really like the cool down in this workout!
This was an absolutely wonderful workout! In my 2nd trimester now and this was a perfect tempo to keep up with. And LOVED the scenery! Thank you for posting!
Another excellent workout from you. You are so good at this!

I LOVE this workout! I've done your workouts for about a year now, and this one's by far is my favorite! Thank you!
Thanks so much Lane Bradfield it was SUPER fun to film.... even though I had lots of cat calls coming from the Pacific Coast Highway while I filmed. ;)
Great workout, did it on 2 risers and was dripping with sweat. Thanks so much for great step workouts!!!
Great work Joan Otte thanks so much for the feedback! Wow, 2 risers, that is incredible! Really great job!
hi Jenny, at first I was working out with the basic 3 combo workout. And just now I finished this one, and really liked it! It's a little bit harder with the combinations, but I loved it. And gonna do this again tomorrow :)
Sourijah Awesome job! Thanks for commenting!
I really liked this one - especially compo 3 and 4 - great video! I will definately do it again :)
+Feli Dae Wonderful! Thank you for your feedback. It was such a fun one to film! =D
Fantastic workout!
WHY DO PEOPLE SO LOVE THE CLOCK .I see your adding the precentage which I do not like but I can live with I am sure you are doing it for the people which I love. When starting your basic are thy complicated as you go or is there a order to grow with your videos ? I so want to learn but some were a bit complicated. SO I went to beginners that now is a bit easy and now moving forward? Is there a do this one first so you can learn versus ? I so want to learn how to do all your videos even the advanced and do hope you will continue to make them... Expecially with wieghts. .. Thank you for what you do .. .You are making my life so much more happier. I am no longer depressed about some things, loosing weight and look forward to life! After 3 maj ops now getting back with my health and you are making easy ! "THANK YOU!" !
+Priscilla McDaniel, I have playlists for you, and you can work your way through whichever workouts you'd like to try. Then once you've mastered one, you can move on to the next. Here's a link to all of my playlists: th-cam.com/users/JennyFordFitnessplaylists
Jenny - thank you! This is my favorite of all! It is a routine that I could easily learn and boy did you get me sweating! Love it!
That's great news coastsidejoan -- thanks so much for your comments.... sweating is always a great sign of your hard work--so way to go!
This was great...I love the background so wish I was there...
johanna ellison Oh me too, right about now! It was so lovely there! And thanks so much!
Another awesome workout! Love your choreography in this one. Just when I think I have found a favorite of yours, I try a different one and love it!!! I did your most recent one yesterday (should have commented on it there,lol) Short and sweaty. Pleasantly surprised😅. I'm so happy I found you. I get bored with cardio, and you have been the only one I can stick with. So thank you!
Hey Jenny, I love this one, thank you!!!
+01Bonnie03 You're so welcome. =) Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Jenny! I've been doing your work outs for a month and you have become my fitness partner. I enjoy doing differents routines and I love this one!! Big hi from Australia!!
Wendy Oyola Hi! Thanks so much for working out with me! I love being your fitness partner. Sending a hug right back to you! xxx
Absolut perfect! I 😻 it! I make it every day and i have lost a lot of weight! 👌😃
Love this new workout, Jenny! The moves are fun, a little different, but simple to follow - especially with your excellent direction. Love the "rock step" and the "hamstring sway" - tons of fun, and easy to ratchet up the level by just adjusting my own intensity. Especially important to me is that it's easy to do in my limited workout area; I really don't have room for routines like Unexpected Step (although I wish I did!!). Awesome - and another 3 pounds gone!!
Oh great work Anne Henrich that's just fantastic! Congrats! Love your feedback as well. So pleased you're enjoying my latest step workout. Boy, I'm going to have to start working on a new step one soon. (That'll be fun!)
Jenny Ford Yes, please :) will be eagerly waiting for the new one.
Mita M hoping to film a new step one today. :) Will take a bit to get it edited as well, but at least you know it's coming.
Jenny Ford Thank you Jenny. Will look forward to it :)
Mita M Just so you are aware, my editor/producer just went into pre-production on a film, so it may be a few months out before it's edited. But, I did get it filmed. Thanks Mita for your support and feedback as always! I'll tag you when it gets close to being done.
Love your workouts! My calves are on fire because I've been doing it all week. But, I'm gonna burn through it again today!
Nioaka Bayingana Oh wow! Way to get after it! That's amazing! Thanks so much for your comments. =)
I love your step workouts! thanks. PS... I usually hate any kind of cardio😀. you do a great job
Wow! That is really quite the compliment then +Custom Muscle - thank you!

Jenny, I did this routine for the first time today, had watched it a couple of times to get familiar with the moves, absolutely loved it. Only during the warm up I felt like you were going faster than the music, the rest was fun and a great workout. Cuing is everything in step aerobics and you are excellent at it. You give us time to get used to the moves. To some the routine might be repetitive but for me it was perfect :) I was too focused on the routine, could not see your hubby and baby boy in the background :) Looking forward to the next one :)

THanks +Mita M , I'll take a look at the warm-up. I suspect the music might possibly be a little out of synch. I'll check it out. As always so appreciate your feedback. It is so spot on! You are so right, cueing is everything in a good step workout. REally appreciate your support and for working out with me. =D

Rating 10!!!! First, Your cueing was excellent. Second, Your moves were simple but the combos made them more challenging. Third, You give us time to master the moves, and last, but not least, it was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the best step aerobic teacher that I have worked out with and you made it doable for people who can't do all those fancy manuevers that others steppers do. Love ya Jenny! Keep them coming!

Jenny!! Been awhile since I commented! I had to take a break from Step due to knee issues but I'm back! Finally tried this workout and wow!!! This is my new fave! Love this! Love the new moves and combos! They are easy but not boring or anything! I burned 500 cals and peaked at 180 for heart rate! Wicked!! As always thanks for the great workouts, great cueing and your motivation. I keep saying this but I seriously wish I lived closer to your studio! I'd be there everyday for a class! :) Thank you Jenny!!
Cassie Hub Wow! Thanks so much! I'm sorry to hear about your knee problems, but so happy you are back up and stepping. 500 cals, wow really great work! I wish you were closer too, I would SOOOOO love having you in my classes. As always you are so welcome, and such a joy! I appreciate your support and encouragement a ton! =D
You are so good at this! Great start to my day. I love it when you do the weave at the end :)
Thank you Marty! I agree, weaves are the icing on the cake! 😘
Love this workout! Really enjoy the cool down on this one.
Thanks Kristel. Never had any one tell me they like the cool down. Thats awesome. Thanks so much.
I appreciated the cool down too!
Love you Step workouts. You are a wonderful instructor! My only complaint is the electronic music, deadly.
Awesome! Thank you♡
Thanks Crystal Austin and you are very welcome!
I always forget how much this one kicks my butt!! First combo.. Step over rock..good but nothing crazy, but then it's split steps then knee lunges then Charleston's, then knee pump repeaters and finally those 3 knee repeater swims.. Gets me every time! 2nd to last set of the Charleston's I didn't know if I was going to make it.. But gentle tap on the shoulder and a "keep it up" from the hubby and got through it all :)
+Cassie Hub I love this! You're simply amazing! I'm with you there, it's a lot harder than you think. I'm very happy you have such a loving husband cheering you on. You did absolutely phenomenal! I love it!
what a great workout i had today! After you know the routine well, it gets super fun and as you say you can really work it...I appreciate and absolutely need the reminders to use my arms and to tighten my core with the knee lifts and such, I dont think im doing the hip flexor exercise properly I push my pelvis forward but dont really feel any type of stretch in the hip area. thanks again
Hi terry schaffer , so pleased you are continuing to like this workout so much. I will continue with 'reminders'. Glad they help. So for the hip flexor stretch, standing with one leg in front, (full foot on the ground) other leg behind, (like a mini split) lift the back heel up, curl your pelvis under, tighten your glutes, neutral spine, but slightly pressing your hips forward. See if that helps. Thanks for the feedback. :)
Thank you so much Jenny for fantastic workout here in Ireland woohoo 😍
I have to say that I LOVE your videos! Your are so easy to follow and weirdly it feels like you're in the room with me. I've 'graduated' up from the basic 3 move combos, and even though some people may find this pretty basic (to me it isn't lol), it's perfect for getting my heart rate up and burning calories. I can't wait to try some of the more challenging ones in the future. It is so true that you get out what you put in. I've been doing your classes - including the marching and 'ghastly' abdominal one (I say ghastly because I felt stuff in my stomach area that I haven't felt for years...and it wasn't that pleasant lol!) a couple of times a week for the past month or so, and combining that with just eating better I am down 15lbs. Slow and steady is my plan, and the good thing is that I see this as something I can do forever, not just until I hit the 'right' weight. You've shown me that exercise can be fun and rewarding, and that it's not a punishment for eating too many pies! Keep up the good work!
nummulite99 Your comments are incredible! I love your positive attitude, and WOW, way to go!!!! You are doing awesome! Slow and steady is the best way to go, I love it! Thank you for taking the time to write me. You really made my day! And, thank you for chosing me for your workout time. I feel honored! =)
Happy Friday!
Thank you Amy! You too!
Once again, another sweaty workout for me!! Thanks, Jenny! P.S. I'm loving my $4 step I bought at the flea market!!
+Pamela Binder Yay! That's fantastic!
I used to teach freestyle group exercise and had I Of tried to teach this we would of ended up doing the Macarena and calling it a day haha
I enjoy doing this tho!
Are you still doing You tube work outs your fantastic and you are really getting me back into exercising after 3 years of ops so love you so Thank You for your WO's
Thanks +Priscilla McDaniel, yes I'm still here uploading workouts. Thanks so much! 😀
You know what would be a good idea? Make a video just demonstrating some of your moves so we can be comfortable with them before doing the workout!
Donna Seibring Great feedback, thanks for taking the time to post. Really appreciate it!
love all your workouts. you are fantastic! thank you so much! I agree that the syncing of the music with the moves seemed a little off on this workout in the beginning. other than that I love all your videos. Thnx for getting me into stepping again!
+Rebecca M Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it. I'm also so glad to hear that you are stepping again! :)
Hi Jenny, this workout was great--just the right pace and good progression of moves. I loved especially the lighter dancier music in the middle. I wonder if you have a beginner video that is at this same pace or a touch slower. I did one beginner one of yours last week thinking that because I was especially tired it would get me moving slowly, but it was very fast paced--a great workout for those who are beginning step as the moves were easy, but I felt that the pace was like a jog!
luminouswithhope So pleased you enjoyed Malibu Step. Really appreciated your feedback.

You are so very kind as to write me back in your busy schedule omg! thankyou ... I do have just one question left and again want to thank you for all you do... "What I want to know is when doing the videos through Beg. then Bas. then Inter. and then Advan. am I to follow each video that you have for each which I am now on Basic . Do you have a which video helps to grow with the Basics like which basic should i do ? I guess I want to know should I just do each video in each class and it will teach me as I go to do the basics or is there a order to go by ? Again thank you so much for your time.🏋🏼😅❤☺🎉🎈
Oh that's great! I'm glad you found my Learn to Step program on my website. I need to update it with a few more workouts I've uploaded recently so I'll do that soon. Thanks Priscilla!
Here's a link to my Learn to Step program. I need to update it with a few more workouts I've recently posted. But you can check it out here: jennyford.com/learn-to-step/
Bloody brilliant! Just did it fir the first time and probably exercised my brain as much as my body... thank you for producing such brilliant workouts Jenny, you make it hella fun as well as incredibly effective! (If my sweating is anything to go by!)
Ps. Is there a way of calculating the approx. calories burnt in the separate workouts?
Jenny, I enjoyed the ocean in the background in this workout. I have a question. I am using a 4-inch step, and I would like to know how many calories I burn with your workouts with a step this high.
Sherri Boekweg
GREAT question! I always hesitate to tell people how many calories they can burn, as it really depends on quite a few factors. The most accurate way to know of course is to use a Heart Rate monitor. BUT, having said that, for example, in an hour session of step, I would estimate, 400 calories and up, depending on how much energy you are able to put into the moves. Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions.
Quick question...I have one of the type of Steps that you can add or take away risers to make it higher or lower. How much more calories are burned with using double risers as opposed to single risers? Or no risers? I like to vary the height of the step on different days for variety and was just wondering. Thanks in advance
YogaMom This is an old comment but according to my fitbit
No risers : 290 - 320 cal burn.
One riser: 470 - 530 cal burn
SuɱtɧɩɳMstBAʋaɩℓaƄℓε thanks
This was a good one. Were you doing this in the morning or evening? Do you use cue cards? How do you keep track of what to do next?
+Amy Judd Thanks! We filmed this one early afternoon I believe. It was a colder day, absolutely perfect for sweating! I don't use cue cards. I put together the workouts and practice and practice, and memorize the moves. I would say it's something I discovered later in life as a talent. I believe anyone could do it however with enough practice. Hope that answers your questions. =) Are you thinking of teaching group fitness?
+Jenny Ford Uh no. No teaching group fitness for me. :) That is impressive that you can memorize it.
+Amy Judd Thanks so much! =D
👍👍👍
💛💛💛💛
Hi Jenny, is it true that step aerobics bulk up thighs and glutes? Step routines have become my staple although I mix it up with other routines as well. But I have always had heavy thighs and this worries me a bit.
Mita M- I have never heard research about Step bulking up thighs and glutes. In fact, it is more known for helping to tone and slim the legs and glutes. I am pleased to hear you mix up your routines, and remember you saying you enjoy strength training too. =D As long as you are balanced in your workouts.... not too much of one thing, and then of course a mindful eating regimen. (For me, I do at least 2-3 full body weight sessions per week, never back to back--and cardio at least 3 times per week, with one stretch/relax/yoga day. ) Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Nice to hear from you Mita!
