I’m an intermediate/advanced stepper, but I was feeling a little sluggish today, so I decided to try this video. I really enjoyed it! The slower pace was nice for a change, and I was able to throw in intermediate steps! Still burned over 300 calories! ❤
First step workout with you. I have zero coordination so the 40 minutes flew by without noticing it 😅 I had no time to thinking anything but the next step. It was super fun!!! I burned 436 kcal and took approximately 5000 steps according to my watch. Thank you
I had the biggest smile ever once I mastered the merry go round! I’m going to try it at a faster speed later. This is a great way to learn new moves. Thanks so much Natalie x
I have been stepping with you for about a month now. Been sticking with the basic 20 and 30 minute classes with one riser. .Today I did this 45 minute class with ease and I felt wonderful. This brings me back to my college days and doing aerobic step classes on campus. Absolutely love how easy you make it for us to follow along and love your positive energy and vibes!!
I love this video. I am an avid step enthusiast however I am trying to up my endurance by doing longer step videos. This is the perfect length and intensity.
Morning Cris. My daughter has been asking me about the step I’m doing. I told her I follow a fantastic instructor ( the best) on TH-cam and she’s wanting to an exercise rather just going for walks. Something fun and different . She’s never done step, so I sent her 2 videos of basic step , one of them is this one. She doesn’t have a step, so I told her to just put her bath mat down and use that for guidance. She’s just got back to me showing a sweaty Betty lol. Thanks cris your a star 🌟 ❤🇬🇧
Thanks Chris! I am just learning step and have realized that the fast basic ones are a bit too fast for me. This one was GREAT. I followed it perfectly. I am bound and determined to learn step and keep up with you all. Thanks again!!
❤ thanks for the fun and sweat! This one has given me a little extra confidence with the basics and this is brilliant. I love your encouragement and reminder to smile. With you I not only smile after but also during the workout. And I love the eye candy of Luis. He is so sweet.❤
I love ❤️ these basic steps cause I'm still learning moves. This still got the heart going and made me sweat so good cardio 😁 you're such a great step instructor!!
This was GREAT!! i did a beginners class on another channel but they didn't explain the moves. Found you this morning, and ill be sticking with you x x
i am a advanced Stepper girl....but i put my step bord one Block higher....and this class was so sweaty...and my heart rate going up...up..so awesome..absolutly not boring😊❤...thx dear chris
Great class Chris, it’s so nice to have a variety of classes to choose from depending on how your body feels 😅. You’re cueing is so perfect and helpful. Thank you so much!
I did this yesterday and loved it so much it’s saved to my rotation. I prefer the basic step, as trying to keep up with the advanced choreography has me just standing there doing nothing at all. Thank you!
I feel so lucky to have found your videos! Stepping was my favorite exercise pre-pandemic and it feels great to get back into a form of exercise I truly enjoy.
Another one I missed! Ever since I had the nasty virus, I haven’t been able to use the risers. I decided to try this slower basic step..and I did it with risers! 41 more videos to go to have done all 313 of your step workouts!!
I really enjoyed this one! If you are an intermediate/advanced level stepper, don’t just pass by this one. Yes it’s the perfect place for beginners to start, but adding a set of risers and moving at a slower pace works your body in a different way. It takes more balance at a slower pace and if you’ve done enough of Chris’s step classes you can play around with the moves by adding different repeaters, around the worlds, revolving doors etc. and really make it your own. I got a great sweat on and burned a little over 400cal. Thanks Chris!
So AWESOME! I tried to get back into Step Aerobics previously (I'm in my 60s and step was my 'go to' cardio in the 80s) but the instructor's cues were hard to follow. Yours are great plus the way in which you break down the steps helps me in remembering the steps (e.g., rocking horse). Thank you so very much!
Hello!! I just recently found your channel and I’m loving it so far!! I’ve done two beginner step workouts, including this one, and your 20 minute morning stretch one. I am loving this! I am loving it so far!! Thank you for breaking it down for us beginners but not making it so slow it’s not an effective workout. I’m looking forward to even more!
I'm quite new to your channel Chris...a couple of months or so now. I did step aerobics 25+ years ago, and I'd forgotten how much I loved it! This is my favourite cardio. Loving the moves and tunes. Thanks Chris for everything you do! You are a keeper x
I didn’t have an hour to workout today so this was perfect. I added another riser to make it more challenging. I think it’s great that you have videos for all levels. I would have definitely liked this as a beginner but when I started I was at a gym and it was tough. I appreciate all the different level videos you have. Thank you Chris!
This was my first step workout and I'm in love! You're an awesome instructor! I'm not new to weights or cardio but arthritis, especially in my feet, has slowed me down but I'm able to do this and I can't wait to do more. Thank you so much!
Sunday morning here so as I didn’t think I could manage the 60 minute workout from yesterday I did this one. It was great for me today. 4464 steps, 353 calories. Thank you Chris
I loved the slower pace of this workout. I’m newly back to step after over a decade!! I would say I’m almost intermediate again so I know the steps, but sometimes it’s just too fast for me to keep up. Maybe consider adding a slower paced video for people like me who are trying to build strength and stamina? Thanks for all you do for us!
YAY!!!!! Great job!!! Always remember it could also depend on the day too!! I have a ton of slower paced intermediate. There are playlists on my channel that are by BPMS so you can look for the speed you like! ❤️❤️
Fantastic! Dealing with sick family members this week so first chance to do this workout. A few months ago I would have found this a bit challenging but with doing other step workouts in the last few months it was a breeze! Thanks Chris. Now to do Cardio Mobility! ❤
Thank you so much. I know that you are an expert caller and have taught me a lot of advanced moves, but I appreciate that you have all of these basic step classes to chose from. Like you say, you can always remove a riser or just do the class without a step or you can increase the intensity with a hand weights/weighted vest/extra risers or getting your arms above your heart. I increased the playing speed for the last 15 minutes and had a huge smile on my face for the rest of this class. Thank you!!!
Wow! My first time completing a 45 min step!!!! I was losing wind at 37 min but I kept on , moved slower until I got my second wind ❤ thank you 🙏🏾 nice Saturday morning burn 🔥
These slow basic classes can definitely be challenging just in a different way..maybe because there’s so much time to make the moves and arms big?! Who knows but thanks for the great workout Chris!
With this slower paced workout, I added an extra riser and, wow, did I get a workout. 30 years ago I did 2 risers all the time but at double that age it's not so easy anymore. This is a great one to work back up to that. Thank you so much for all the great classes, I'm quitting the gym and will start to support you.
Another good workout. I thought I was going to do a simple workout after I tried one of your cardio ones yesterday and am rather sore in the "I haven't used these muscles in a long while sore", so I put the raisers on... Wow. Lovely sweaty workout. Going for the cool down stretch!! Thank you for all your hard work!! I appreciate you!
EDITED to say my name is Kathie apparently I'm on my husband's account :D Thank you for this video...I'm older and love step aerobics when it became popular a long time ago. I'm just getting back into fitness and found this video. It was fun, got my heart pumping and your cues are spot on.
Just found your site. Really enjoyed this workout. Couldn't get the around the world but I'm a bit uncoordinated LOL. I normally do weight training but I'm recovering from lymph node removal surgery and can't lift over 10 lbs so had to search for an alternative. Will check out more of your videos.
Great job Gloria and Welcome!!! I have a playlist called learn step aerobics and there is a tutorial on how to do the around the world. I guarantee you will get it if you do it!
Awesome!! I think I’ll always be a basic stepper, but that’s ok with me because this got my heart pumping! For the first time, I tried a single level of risers and I held 1 pound weights in each hand to challenge myself more. Thanks Chris!
I am recovering from a nasty case of COVID. Before COVID, I worked out daily. Now I get winded walking to the mailbox! This was a great workout to ease back into the swing of things. Thank you!
I wasn’t going to do this because it was lower bpm. With a little encouragement from California Vicki I did it and was surprised at the impact a slower bpm had on my muscles.
Thanks so much for joining me!! I like Yes Music and Power music as I can mix my own playlists. As far as affordable...Well that is not always easy to find. I have used mixes I found on TH-cam before!
Hi Chris it Feroza again from. SA, this is your video that got em hocked ❤ pls keep up the great work I absolutely adore your energy and style ❤❤❤ Pls advise of me of a intermediate and advanced class which is kinda similar to this one as I would really appreciate your assistance in this regard 🎉 YOU ARE absolutely amazing ❤❤❤love yeah
Good evening, I love following you and your beautiful way, and I benefit greatly and enjoyable. But I have a problem, my English language is very weak. If you would allow me to attach your videos with a written Arabic or French translation so that I can benefit from everything you say and from all your comments and advice. Thank you.beutiful🌹
Im still mending from pneumonia... So I was only able to do the warm up😞 But I'm giving myself permission to not mentally beat myself up... Doing something is better than doing nothing...
I chose this today, challenging myself to two inches more step height. I died, went to hell and came back out feeling great and grinning like an idiot. 🥵😁
finally, someone who knows what she is doing and a good instructor too. Thank you
awe!! Thank you so so much Norman!! Come back for another!!!! I appreciate your comment ❤️❤️❤️
I’m an intermediate/advanced stepper, but I was feeling a little sluggish today, so I decided to try this video. I really enjoyed it! The slower pace was nice for a change, and I was able to throw in intermediate steps! Still burned over 300 calories! ❤
YAY!! Perfect Amanda!! Thank yOU!
Yes, I love the variety here
Thank you !! Finally an instructor that does equal steps on each side.
I try to!! LOL Once in a while things don't work out with that when we are live❤️❤️ Thanks Debra!
Thank you for the amazing video, I really enjoyed it 😊. Your instructions throughout the video were so helpful, I was able to do all the movements.
FANTASTIC!!!! love, love, love!!!💌💌💌💌
My daughter did this with me this evening. I am trying to teach her how to not give up with new things..thanks
YAY!! FUN!! Tell her I said Hello and to keep trying..it gets easier!!
66 years old, didn't think I would be able to complete
Appreciate the breaks I made it through!!! 😍 What a great sweat!! Thank you!
YAY!!! GREAT JOB DEBRA!
Christina is such a fantastic instructor! Thank you for another great class!
This was the best step class for us old timer steppers! I was smiling the entire time. Thank you! Love your classes ❤
Yay thank you so much!
First step workout with you. I have zero coordination so the 40 minutes flew by without noticing it 😅 I had no time to thinking anything but the next step. It was super fun!!! I burned 436 kcal and took approximately 5000 steps according to my watch. Thank you

I had the biggest smile ever once I mastered the merry go round! I’m going to try it at a faster speed later. This is a great way to learn new moves. Thanks so much Natalie x
YAY!!!!!! Isn't it fun!! I am so glad you got it!!! WOOO!!!

Great job!
I am recovering from a nasty case of COVID. Before COVID, I worked out daily. Now I get winded walking to the mailbox! This was a great workout to ease back into the swing of things. Thank you!
Ugh I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you are feeling better soon
Again, sometimes we just need to go back to the basics! ❤
Omggggg 😍😍😍😍
Love the beginner Lithonia basic intermediate
Thank cdorner fitness😅
You're so welcome!
I'm so happy to be doing step again.. I'm awful but it's fun haha 😄
HAHA, you will be awesome soon!! YAY!! Thanks for joining me Neva!
I wasn’t going to do this because it was lower bpm. With a little encouragement from California Vicki I did it and was surprised at the impact a slower bpm had on my muscles.
Awesome video ! Anyone have recommendations for music apps to use for step class - continuous, up to date remixes, 132bpm? Affordable as well :)
Thanks so much for joining me!! I like Yes Music and Power music as I can mix my own playlists. As far as affordable...Well that is not always easy to find. I have used mixes I found on TH-cam before!
Hi Chris it Feroza again from. SA, this is your video that got em hocked ❤ pls keep up the great work I absolutely adore your energy and style ❤❤❤
Pls advise of me of a intermediate and advanced class which is kinda similar to this one as I would really appreciate your assistance in this regard 🎉 YOU ARE absolutely amazing ❤❤❤love yeah
Hey, thanks so much!!!!
I'm doing now
This is perfect for me before a night shift
Good evening, I love following you and your beautiful way, and I benefit greatly and enjoyable. But I have a problem, my English language is very weak. If you would allow me to attach your videos with a written Arabic or French translation so that I can benefit from everything you say and from all your comments and advice.
Thank you.beutiful🌹
Loui I can see he is very fluffy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Chris
Im still mending from pneumonia... So I was only able to do the warm up😞
But I'm giving myself permission to not mentally beat myself up... Doing something is better than doing nothing...
That is absolutely ok!! you need time to get those lungs back to normal!! You will get there Ginger!
I chose this today, challenging myself to two inches more step height. I died, went to hell and came back out feeling great and grinning like an idiot. 🥵😁
HHAHAH
