- Quick beginner step workout that's easy to follow, especially for first-time steppers. Great if you're short on time. Anyone can do this step aerobics workout. Warm-up is wrapped into the main workout, then boost metabolism, shape your lower body (butt and thighs), build lean muscle, and get nice and sweaty. Quick power cardio bursts are included in the last few minutes. You can join in on the power bursts, or keep it low impact. (Modified options are cued throughout the entire workout.)
This workout was filmed at 126 bpm. I used a simple beat track in the background in case you want to play your own favorite music as we step together.
Always love to hear from you. Leave me a comment! Always love your feedback! We'll be filming new workouts each week, so be sure to subscribe to my channel so you don't miss out. Thank you for your support, as always!

A truly beginner step aerobic workout. Others claim to be beginner but it’s not easy to follow the choreography. This one is so easy to follow and I worked up a good sweat!
I agree! I thought I was gonna die! But the video stopped just in time …so glad 😊
I have chronic asthma and I managed to do this. maybe not as fast as you. but I did it. feeling proud
Anyone still stepping in 2023?
Starting again in 2024 …. Thank you for this
@@jacquilowman5883same here
2024. I started doing this with her in 2021 ❤❤
2024
I want to start again!
I used to step aerobics 3x a week, when I was much younger. Am now 75 and have not done much in years and years. Got to about 35% this first time. Will keep on every day!
Finally found a challenging but realistic beginners workout! thank you!
This is one of my go to workouts after injury or illness. Jenny has got me out of the darkest of depressions, step with Jenny is my goto feel good exercise. Her energy and PERFECT instructions timed to perfection is awesome. As an ex step teacher I don't think there is a step instructor better and more experienced than Jenny. X
Just did this workout. I am pretty sedentary and I was able to keep up pretty well and do most steps (albeit not as gracefully). I have made it a goal to take better care of myself and these videos feel like an accessible and non-intimidating approach to building a regular exercise habit.
AND there are two things that make me laugh to myself every time I do this routine ... 1. You say (I forget exactly, but) "I'm feeling strong, how are you feeling?" .. I say to myself "a little overweight, tired, and a bit crap". You say in your video "good!" hahaha! 2. You say "I'm always here for you" and laugh. Of course you're always there for me. You're a TH-cam video!! Makes me chuckle to myself every time!! Thanks Jenny for the workouts :)
Scott Mordecai haha 😂 you made me laugh! Thanks for that too! 😂
What I love about this video: Her voice, her enthusiasm and her image. It's not forced, fake or unnatural. After an ankle injury (fracture), 6 weeks to heal, I struggled to run without pain. This video helped strengthen my foot as well as my knee so I could continue my long distance runs with little issue. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words. So happy you’ve been able to use this workout to gain strength. ❤️
How are you doing Ness? I hope u r fully recovered and 100% back to your usual program. I have had foot surgery on both feet within a month. Nd surgery was yesterday…..I am counting the days, 6 weeks so I can get back into workout. This great starting point!
@@jenniferbond7073 It's been a year, now... I still use the same 22 minute J.F.F. program just about every other day to keep me limber. I lost 28 pound (2 stone UK measurement) do to running and resistant training (no weights), I can run 10km with no problem. I usually run 25km a week. My advice: Don't push too hard after the 6 weeks but don't ever give up. Take it easy and be proud every day that you are doing a little bit better. Give yourself breaks to rest. Never beat yourself up/punish yourself for what cannot be done... Everything takes time. I wish you all the best. My foot is as strong as ever but the memory will be with me forever.
I'm overweight and I went to the gym with a personal trainer before lockdown, UK. I have to say this video is so much better.
Just completed this video now and I feel like I have achieved more. Really enjoyed it and the time flew over. Needless to say I'm not going to the gym when they reopen, I will be doing this in the comfort of my own home. Thank you Jenny Ford xx
2020 quarantine life saver !
Looking forward to results in a few months
Same here! Im just getting started. Good luck!
@@tyroneharris8345 Same!
Hi, how was the results... I want to start soon
@@pr33tipatel
Amazing results I lost 15 pounds in a month
@@jasminebelkaid3498 just this video.. What else did u do in terms of exercise?
I like this very beginner step - I'm 64, haven't done anything like this for years, hip replaced almost a year ago, so not able to do the whole thing YET!!! BUT, will be doing the whole thing within a month I bet. Thanks
Keep it going, Lorrie!! You're awsome!
I love this workout! Thank you Jenny!
I'm 62 and haven't done step aerobics in years. I pulled out my bench and here I am. Step has always been one of my favorites. This is especially helpful with the "shelter in place" in my city. Thank you!
As a type 2 diabetic and a respiratory therapist, your routines are PERFECT and higly recommended! These excercises are just as important as the PPE when it comes to protecting your health. I trust the safety of your routines. Thank you and stay safe!!!!
This is a true beginner’s work out
Everything Perfect.
The moves, The explanation, The Speed.
I have gone thru a lot of other online classes.
And never forget, I was an expert long time ago.
Loved it . I will be back soon
Jenny, your workouts are amazing. I love waking up and starting my day with you. Thank you for sharing with your walking friends.
Best workout I have had, directions were simple and I finally learned how to stretch properly. Done in 20 minutes and I went the whole time. This will be my workout. Thanks Ms. Jenny Ford, loved it.
You bet!
Jenny - I really like this workout! I'm 61 and can make it through the entire routine! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss step aerobics at the gym. No one teaches that any more. I guess I am telling my age. I step at home or at the gym when the room is free. It keeps me fit and toned. Thank you for posting this.
I have pcos and chronic asthma and this is the first workout I've actually being been able to do!! I do this work out 3x a week and have done on and off for over a year. Today was my first time doing it where I didn't have to stop. Absolutely love these videos and you saying are you still smiling makes my day every day. ❤
I love that your step workouts are easy to follow, uncomplicated and fun!! Step always intimidated me in the past, but this is completely doable!!
best program for BEGINNER step . All others on youtube think beginner mean that we step since 5 years with complicate moves.... beginner means BEGINNER . simple , but hard too , happy to see the end of 20min . good job and hi from france !
I lost thanks to you 32 kilos . Thank you ❤
This workout got me out of a month long plateau!! Still losing thanks to Jenny Ford!!!
That's awesome. I am at a plateau too, so hope this helps me too!
I died three times during the workout. I am in suuuuch bad shape, I can’t even complete this workout. Actually typing during a break. But I shall not quit! Haha
please be patient, i was like you, keep doing, you will improve so much
Paheli I did iiiit!!!
@ORVet thank you so much for the suggestion of changing the playback speed!! I never would have thought of it, and it helped me so much. Thank you!!!!!
Me too lol. I'm too fat so I need a 5min break. I am going to finish this video dang it lol
This was so me when I first started doing her work outs 11 months ago. I would do 5 minutes at a time pause and play when I could. I can do this whole workout all the way through.
My 1st step class in 30 odd years. Just been diagnosed with COPD and realised thatI need to do more than my usual 12-1500 steps a day. Had to have a 2 minute break about halfway through but I made it!! Sweating like the proverbial... This will be my go to for now.Thanks Jenny.
I used to work out almost daily and then had a very significant death in my family and didn't exercise for almost a year. I'm just getting back into it, and your step workouts have been amazing! I think I've found my new favourite cardio that I actually feel MOTIVATED to do! Thank you for your videos!
Tina so glad you listened to your body and took some time to heal. Grief is such a burden to bear. We have had significant loss in our family as well. I’m currently at my heaviest weight l’ve ever experienced. Self compassion is so important. Welcome back. Welcome anytime.
You are definitely my favourite to workout with Jenny (relaxed, not loud and in your face) I was doing ok until that little hop on the step towards the end, I completely lost what rhythm I had!! Much to the delight of my children.
LB Ceramics That sounds cute and funny. Your kids were watching you exercise? How old are they?
Thank you, Jenny! More like this please! Nice easy beat and shorter in Length ….perfect for us 60-somethings. I did step religiously I’m my earlier years and while I’m healthy except for a few menopausal pounds, I just can’t get into the faster hour long step anymore. It’s all about moderation!❤️😃
This is great! I just did 7 mins at 3/4 time as little work break. I'll do at least one more before I'm done my work. Starting slow to keep myself motivated at my low fitness level. My brain is awake again now back to work.
Perfect! ❤️
AWESOME! I'm a tax preparer and don't have much time to go out an walk outside my office. This is a great way to get my moves for the day!
I been using this workout along with dieting for the last three months and have dropped 20lbs. Can’t thank you enough! Hope this helps someone else who is ready to change their life. You can do it!
I haven't done a step class in the last 25 years. This is a good one to begin with, only could manage 30% but will continue.
First time step class in 2022. Subscribed and hope to keep up with more classes. This is my year to get fit. I let myself go in the past year. Taking my life back!!!
This was the PERFECT workout to get me started back exercising. I usually start a video and don't finish it, then get discouraged and quit trying. I finished the whole workout and feel great. Even getting over a knee injury. THANK YOU!
I haven't done aerobic exercises for a long time. This felt great! Thank you.
I looove the count down! Helps a lot to stay motivated! Thanks so much for all the videos! ❤️
Veras kleine Welt thanks! I think you’d really enjoy our Step Across America Program found on our new TH-cam channel here: th-cam.com/play/PLUs3isqhsCMQhP3n88ajMjgwTr2uR0w8p.html&feature=share (I’d be so grateful if you’d subscribe!)
I did step aerobics over 15 years ago. I stopped when my instructor left and then step aerobics disappeared. I later had a back and neck injury and could only swim for exercise. I had neck fusion and lost weight, which helped my back. I have tried several dance type programs but never enjoy the, I found your videos and am thrilled to be back in step aerobics. I am working my way through your basic routines, getting back into the rhythm and physical shape. I am almost 60 and I can do these exercises. Thank you,
Great beginner workout! I love that you have the percentage of the workout at the bottom of the screen! Thank you!
This is one of my favourites, just love how hard it makes me work even without the more tricky combos, I often do it before or after one of you other step workouts to make up an hour or so, or just by itself when I don't have much time. A big thank you to you and your team, I just got my 5stone (70lb) los,t certicate at my slimming group last night,..couldn't have done it without your workouts, and your sunshining smile, which made me keep going even when I was struggling. xxx
I agree
Im so glad I found someone who is NOT BORING like a lot of these youngsters (im 31) sorry to say but they have no spice, most of em with annoying voices too lol. Jenny is fun to workout with her videos are doable and works the body out really well.
Love it. just what I need... 20 minutes cardio. not too hard to do. easy to learn the moves
I like this because it's simple, quick and Jenny seems genuine. The frequent "Whew!" is rather encouraging, too!
love, love, love! I'm an advanced stepper, but this got me moving on a day I did not feel energized. Thank you so much! This is perfect for those who have never stepped before.
Stephanie Payne thank you! Love ❤️ your feedback! Thank you!
hi, im back for another workout. 50 y/o male here. back in the late 80's i had a girlfriend who did step workouts, i would crack on her. so she said give it a try. needless to say i didnt make in 15 min into the workout. although im not keeping up with you. i was 277 lbs in nov. currently 220ish just by doing a casual keto diet. hoping this me to drop more weight. thanks for the content. your awesome !!!
This is fantastic!!! Way to go! Thank you for sharing and good best of luck with your health and fitness journey.
Omg I think I made it about halfway before I felt like I was gonna die, starting to think maybe I should have started w/o using any risers
Finally ....an actual BEGINNER step video. I probably watched 5 before i found this one 😍!!!
Yay! Thank you!
What a great introductory to getting back into step , perfect
Loved this. 6 months pregnant and felt so good after doing this work out. Will do everyday
I haven't done step in forever, but now I remember why I loved it so much. It was good to feel the muscle memory return. Thanks.
I love your video I have been doing it for a week almost. I am 43 and have let myself go. 2023 will be a new year and you will keep me smiling!!!!
I've tried to follow other step aerobic instructor, but u r easy 2 follow, encourage us, not too talkative..like that u said all parts of body used! Love u Jenny! :)
This is great just what I have been needing to find as I am starting step again and have not done this since the 90's. Thank you so much !
Jenny this video was like coming home to a loving hug after a bad day! I needed this so bad. was feeling like crap when starting but now I am all sweaty smiles.😁
I love this video. I have been sedentary for so long, it is a blessing to finally find an activity I actually enjoy doing. Thank you!
Jenny your step work outs are the best most doable workouts for all levels! I have used the web for workouts on a daily basis for two years, so know what is out there in terms of step. I used to gym for the lat 20 years and do spin and pump classes and am used to all levels of work. But your workouts are safe, you can step it up by adding hand weights. Your workouts are the most 'professional looking'. BTW I tell my friends - exercise is not an option (your words). THANK YOU
Haha! Those are great words funkyfit! So happy you're enjoying my step workouts! Thanks for your support. 😊
I like that "Exercise is NOT an option" new motivation
Just what I needed before work and had no time!!! Perfect. Back in the day when Jane Fonda had her step workout VHS, I was in the best shape of my life! I hope to find more of these. Thank you Jenny!
Hi Jenny. I LOVE this workout. I did one of your 30 minute beginner routines for a while, but then two things happened. 1. Got a calf strain (unrelated to step!) and took some weeks off to heal; during that time 2. My 2.5yo has decided that his naps need not be longer than about 40 mins. 40 mins to do a step routine, shower, eat lunch, clean up .... no chance! At the moment, this shorter routine fits my lifestyle much better. It is still a great workout, I get to shower, I get to eat. So glad I found you Jenny :)
Scott Mordecai that’s so fantastic! Thank you for sharing, and I love that you can fit it in around your little cutie. Awesome!
Omg I was about to give up, then I noticed it was all over! Omg..I like it! Thank you for not pushing us too far…I’m trying to get back into fitness now ❤

I did youre workout without the bench but with 1 pound dumbbell in my hands all the time. Bicep curl, lateral raise, front raise. A complete workout for me! Thank you Jenny!
Wow! That's fantastic Fraisipereles! Great work! 😃
Just had my board delivered due to the lockdown and went on line to find a easy intro.... This was perfect, I have had a knee replacement and so have to be so careful, love the way that you explain in easy phrases and make us feel as if we are in the room with you. Well done
I love the progress meter in the corner! It's noticeable, but not distracting.
Just now i found you're vid amongst al the others. You stood out. I am 80 pounds overweight and did you're workout with 2 pauses. I feel happy and i did the whole excercise. After tomorrow i will do the same video workout and hope i will do it with just 1 pause. 🍀
Thank you!!! New Mommy here trying to get back into shape! between the little time I have and to how out of shape I am in I was panting like a hot dog in summer. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Whew! As much fun as this was, I could not get through the whole thing on the first time. I made it to about 70% though, which I think is great for the first time doing this workout. I did do the cool down at the end.
Just did this workout, and it’s the first one I have completed happily after not doing any proper class for ages!! Loved it so thank you Jenny! Writing from lockdown 3.0 London 🙏🏼
I had a baby in 2019 and again in 2020.... Carrying an extra 45 pounds I'd like GONE! Your videos are amazing. I don't have much time with little ones in the house but these are perfect!
Whose doing this step workout in January 30th 2021? I feel fabulous and thankful for a quick beginner workout 🌟🌟🌟
She's awesome. Her workouts really make you sweat but you don't have to know any dance moves. Keep it coming.
I love your videos, Jenny!!! I am trying to get back into working out and this is just what i needed. I love the ~20 minute ones for a quick workout a beginner like me can do. Especially with the timer. I am so glad I discovered Jenny Ford! Thank you, Jenny!!!!
I LOVED this workout!! Thank you for posting something us beginners can do!!
Hi Jenny, your my new best friend. I’m 68 soon to be 69 and very unfit. I like many, used to be a step class enthusiast and really enjoyed it. I don’t do resolutions normally, but due to Covid lockdowns and our golf club being closed I stumbled upon your site. I managed to watch the whole beginners workout and loved it. I have retrieved my original step from deep in the cellar, washed the dust of it and positioned it in an ideal place in the cottage ready for an early start tomorrow morning. So watch this space.
Thank you Jenny Ford. Love your work. Haven't done any step for 20 years and your basic step aerobic program for beginners I'm finding is working well for me. Love step, always have.
Just did this workout, it's great! Please keep the basic ones coming, love these workouts
So happy 😃 you enjoyed it Mary! Thanks for the feedback!
Just did this specific workout today for the first time (I've done your other beginners ones) and I sweat up a storm! Please keep the beginner ones coming, this is the level I am comfortable at and will be staying here until it no longer feels like a challenge to me ... Just a little tip: maybe make the background music more "catchy" and motivating to help keep us going ;) Other than that, you're perfect at what you do! Thanks!
I used to love to exercise when I was younger and do step aerobics everyday! Now that I am older I am just not motivated anymore but I know I have to get up and move. Thanks for your beginner 20 minute workout, gets me motivated to do more!
Love this. So basic and slower than others I have found that’s not Jenny Ford’s. Will continue to do this on Thursdays.
My friend and I love it. Enjoy the automatic adjustable angles. Feels very stable and safe. Picked the wider tract. Loved the price on it. Great for our new year resolution to exercise more.
I do this workout everyday..
I never used to sweat crazy before..but after this workout i sweat ALOT.
THANKS JENNY this has helped me alot..i look forward to this workout everyday..:)
Thank you, its been years since I had done steps... Less stress on my knees
For the first time since I started step aerobics, I ACTUALLY MADE IT THRU A WORKOUT! I modified it occasionally, but I finished it. Thank you! What a confidence booster!
Congrats that’s amazing! 🤩
I almost gave up on step aerobics. Thanks for simplifying things. Others make it waaay to complex for beginners. This is Awesome !
loved it, jenny! pulled out my dusty step from the basement! (smile) THANK YOU
I'm out of shape and much too heavy, but although I'm very motivated to do the work, gyms or juggling a small phone while streaming an app, is very inconvenient. So I looked for an aerobics step workout (I've had a steps block for years) on TH-cam to give that a try, and 22 minutes later your video became the very first aerobics workout video I did, Jenny! You've got great energy and style, and I love you already. Looking forward to getting back into shape with your huge variety of workout videos. Thank you, Jenny! :D
Omg 😍 she's amazing ❤️ i love her encouraging words ❤️ like when you feel like you gonna give up but she encourages you so you keep up 🥰
Wow this is a really good 'old skool' step workout. I used to do step in my mid 20's, so 30 years ago. And I loved it then. This routine is exactly what I used to do back then. I have to lower my step now, but I've only just started back into it. It was a really good workout and was sweating buckets at the end of it, but so enjoyed it and will keep following this routine
I absolutely hated that so I'm definitely going to do it again. Thanks.
Used to be good at step in my 20s - now finding it hard at 57! but will keep trying and build up. Lowered my step.
I'm a beginner & have tried many different step workouts on TH-cam. Yours is by far the best I sometimes forget which is my right or left (oooops) , but your positive words really help to keep me going . Most of the channels manage to sound condescending, not you . Thank you 😊
Ich liebe das Sportprogramm von Jenny. Es hat mir die Tage gerettet gerade in Zeiten wie diesen. Es macht nicht nur Spaß es macht auch super fit und die Zeit vergeht dabei schnell. Danach fühlt man sich definitiv besser 🤗😍
Loving all your videos, I cleaned out my garage, put an old TV, mats and an existing step out there and I do TH-cam or march accross America nearly every day. Love it and about the closest I'll get to America for a while now I'm sure! (From Aberdeenshire, Scotland) Keep well x
Excelente treino 😘 muito obrigada 😘❤
Thank you! I'm still getting down the moves,but I do this routine 3 times a week. It is kicking my butt,but I'm sticking with it! The timer on the screen really helps. Jenny Ford,you are awesome!
Not including stretches this got me about 2,000 steps on my Fitbit. Thank you! I’ll be using this again when it’s too cold or rainy to run :)
I really like both the length and the format of this workout. Anything past a very basic combo and I get frustrated and end up spending my energy trying to follow the combo instead of enjoying getting my sweat on. I far prefer just cycling through some straight forward but varied moves like this one at a time. Great workout as always, Thanks, Jenny!
This may be short and simple, but it was intense! I can really tell I've had a workout! I'd love to see more like this!
Thanks, too, for only having a beat and no music. I'd love to see more like that, too!
Love your feedback Gypsi! I agree, it's surprising how much of a sweat you can get! Thanks again for your comments!
Training very good and very fun thank you very much ❤❤❤❤
Bought a stepper on a whim but was nervous to get back on it, I hadn’t done a step class in more than 15 years but this was accessible but also challenging. The stepper I bought is smaller than the OG one you have, I prefer the bigger one, but the muscle memory started to come back in just my first try. Looking forward to doing more of your videos. Thank you 🥰
Excellent! Thank you.
Har köpt en step up bräda...dett var bra nybörjar träning för mig. Har inte tränat step p på mååånga år. Så tack Jenny!!
what would I do without your videos? I don't know! I am very, very grateful 🙏💚
The last time I did a step workout was 25 years ago. You made an easy video to follow. Thank you Jenny Ford for helping me to enjoy the step workouts again. Yes, I subscribed to your channel!
OMG! I absolutely LOVED this workout! I forgot how much I love step aerobics! I tried some others, but none were as easy to follow along with! Thank you!
