Love the intermediate at a slower paced to mix up the bpm. Though an advanced stepper, that doesn’t mean my body always wants to do it at a faster bpm. Thank you so much for the variety! As Chris says, none of us started out at this level, just keep doing it and it will eventually click!
It was unbelievable! Not one mistake today! I am so proud of all the progress I have made and it’s all thanks to you. The day I found your channel was one of the best day of my life! Just wished I had found you earlier. I don’t miss one workout! Thanks from the bottom of my heart. ❤️ ❤❤
This was a really lovely workout and shows how you don't have to be going at a mega fast pace to get your heart rate up. This is perfect for anyone looking to dip their toe in the intermediate step pond as the choreography is great. And if you're flailing, don't stress about it, I flailed massively when I first started Chris's workouts! Thanks so much Chris, hope you enjoy the rest of your day 😊 xx
I started stepping this year in april. I never did it before. I did all the learning step tutorials on this channel and now I can follow the class. Except the merry-go-round. I need to practice that. It took me 7 months before I could follow the classes on saturday. It is very satisfying to see my onw progress in stepping every week. Thanks Chris!
Thanks! I did this class when it first came out and did pretty well. SO I just did it again with a riser and didn't miss one step. So excited. I felt so good after the class, I did your stretch after step, but came back to comment!
Chris, I really appreciate your workouts but mostly I appreciate you as an instructor. You never make us feel guilty for not gettin a move right or taking a break. It sounds silly but we all know how many instructors out there make working out seem like a burden. Thank you so much ❤
Great routine, Chris, thank you! Loved the music too! You are so right! It takes practice and determination! Most are not an "expert" when they start something new, it takes practice. I have been doing step for over 10 years and I still get tripped up. The key is to stay with it, and you will get it! It is all about that mindset!! You are the best Chris!
I loved this so much!!!!!! If Chris doesn’t say it I don’t do it!!! 160bpm 😳 I would be on the floor!!!! Thank you Chris for keeping us safe! ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰 Much love to you and our fitness family!!
Taking a mental health day today. Feeling down. Chose this as my “next right thing”. Helpful to get my mind off things for 50 mins. Perfect pace. Greatest hits of step moves. Thank you for all you do.
OMG I did a 45-min class!! 🔥Also so thrilled to be able to keep up with intermediate choreo! Thank you so much for taking the time to add links to the tutorial in the description!! 🙏🏼
Telling the person who wanted 160 bpm was all class and what a professional should say. Respect. Great one! The first move tripped me up the most cause it broke with the norm - so good for the brain! ❤️🇨🇦🍋
Great step workout! I started a bit over a year ago as a total newbie. I needed to start exercising more regularly for health reasons and thought step would be fun. I found Chris’s workouts and did lots of beginner workouts and the tutorials. I love how Chris is so personable and encouraging! She gives options if you can’t get something and believes in you. Thank you Chris!
This is a great workout. It has just the right amount of choreography. It also helps to have it taught by someone who truly knows what she's doing . . . a true professional with a terrific attitude and wonderful personality. 5 stars out of 5!
Step is always a favorite cardio day for me! This is great for someone newer to intermediate, or someone with some experience who wishes to add a riser for the first time or to bump up the intensity a notch. Lots of fun as always, thank you!
The merry go round is my new favorite move, I've been doing step since the 80s and that was my first merry go round. I love that you can still teach me new moves and keep it fresh! Best step, best trainer ever!!!
I've been stepping since the mid-90s, and I think this was the first time I've done the merry-go-round. It took me a few tries to get it, but it was such a fun addition to the routine! Thanks for always keeping it interesting!
I’m used to doing the faster pace but I found this seemed to work my muscles more. Incredibly humid here in sunny Sydney so I was sweating buckets. All my favourite moves, just love ‘walk the dog’!
I really appreciated the slower BPM and the breakdown. It took me a long time to get out of my comfort zone and try intermediate and I am so glad I did. I am so happy I found you and your channel. You are the best and these step workouts are so much fun. Thank you ❤️ - Katharine (Kat) W.
I do love the no breakdown classes but these ones are great for days when this old brain is moving a bit slower 😂 You make step accessible to all levels. ❤ I appreciate you!
For those who struggle with merry go round: I first encountered it in an advanced class…and my brain said, “WHAT??!!” I didn’t get it the entire class. I went afterward and did the tutorial which helped immensely. Don’t give up-you can do it!! Chris: 160 bpm? That sounds insane…thanks for keeping us safe, and thanks for a really fun class!❤❤
This shows cardio doesn’t always have to be fast for me this burnt 322 calories and 5000 steps. All done with a smile on my face. Thank you Chris for you that you do to make workouts fun. Xx
I love watching and training with you. You radiate positive energy and I always have a good time. Thank you for these workouts, I recommend them to everyone.
🎉 thank you Christina, it was great it did me the world of good. I loved this format of cardio step very nice your pants 😊🥰. looking forward to the next class merci Christina, c’était super ça m’a fait le plus grand bien. J’ai adoré ce format de cardio step très joli ton pantalon 😊🥰. au plaisir pour le prochain cours
Loved this, Chris. The Merry-go-round was new to me and you were right. Once I got it, it was fun 🙂Super appreciate the work you put into your choreo. Always original and always fun.
Resident vampire chiming in to say this one was a fun one! Really enjoyed it. Can't spin but did my own thing during rotating moves and had a blast (as always). Thank you for the fun workout, Chris!
I'd been looking forward to doing this one for a few days now, I always save something I really want to do for my Sundays. Fabulous class Chris, I loved it. I attempted the Merry Go Round a couple of times before thinking nah I'll do the 4 V Steps & go & learn it from the Tutorial. Seemed more sensible since I didn't have a lot of room around my bench due to a sleeping Golden Retriever but it didn't stress me at all & I don't mind modifying. I really have come so far from the first basic Step I did with you when I was just all over the place, wrong feet, wrong direction not adding arms since I was focused so much on watching the screen, then slowly added arms & then out of the blue realised I was doing it without looking at you but sailing through just by your calls. Progressed to Intermediate which again wasn't a complete success at first but kept going. I was so proud when I achieved my first Round The World & just a few weeks ago my first revolving door. I then upped the tempo & did Fast Basics & now can also achieve fast Intermediates too. Next stop Advanced but I know I'll have to make sure my Golden is nowhere near the bench for that one! Thanks Chris for a fabulous class ❤❤
I've been stepping with you for about 3 years. I'm fairly coordinated and picked up all the different step moves pretty easily ... but the MERRY GO ROUND!!! I would end up turning the wrong way, stepping on the wrong foot and, YES, I got a little bit frustrated. FINALLY, with this workout, I mastered the move. The slower pace helped and since I did this in the After Party, I could stop and really look at what you were doing. Today (Sunday) I feel like KING OF THE STEP!!!!!!!!! Thanks for a great workout.
This was a great workout! I usually do the intermediate/advanced and muddle my way through. This was a nice change of pace. Not that I'm going to give up on the advanced. They are always a lot of fun even if I don't get it all. But, I appreciate all the options your channel offers. Thanks, Chris!
I think I like step so much because it is one of the few workouts that I don't have to heavily modify because I'm not strong enough or fit enough to do. Definitely need some extra stretching today. Great workout, love intermediate! Thanks Chris
I found Chris back in March and finally just mastered the merry-go-round earlier this month. Keep practicing! You will catch on! And there’s nothing wrong with modifying the steps if you can’t get them. I am still doing that as well today. But I have definitely made a lot of progress and can do these intermediate classes now. Also, love the 45 minute format. Sometimes an hour is more than my brain can handle lol. Or I also like 45 minutes of step with some ab work at the end. Thank you for all that you do to keep us fit!
Slowly working my way back up to advanced. I was not perfect at all. I kept moving, had fun and I finished, which is what matters most to me. Off to find a new mobility of yours I have yet to do! Thanks Chris!
Well done everyone this was so exhilarating once I'd mastered the moves 😎 and the time flew by. Thanks for challenging the brain as well as the body. xx
I did this in the after party this morning. I feel so accomplished 😁 This is exactly what I needed today thanks for the breakdown Chris this was a lot of fun!
I'm so glad no-one could see me try the merry-go-round - it was hilarious. Tripping over my giant size 3 feet - but didn't get frustrated - so unlike me. I will get it - this time last year, I couldn't get revolving door or around the world and now I can. So, time and just keep trying if you can't get a move. Loved this one. So, many moves packed into 45 mins. As always, thanks.
Step Sunday over here. Didn’t think I was up to the advanced step so chose this one (Sunday 03.11.2024). I’m sweaty and it challenged me enough so good choice. Like you say I have to make decisions for me. Thank you Chris
Love the intermediate at a slower paced to mix up the bpm. Though an advanced stepper, that doesn’t mean my body always wants to do it at a faster bpm. Thank you so much for the variety! As Chris says, none of us started out at this level, just keep doing it and it will eventually click!

Great workout for me as I've been away for a while. Seamless choreography! Thanks, Christina!
Your step workouts are so much fun!! Especially the intermediate & intermediate-advanced workouts. Keep up the good work! ❤
With just a little break down I feel more confident to do an intermediate without break down, moves are fun once you get the hang of it. Thanks Chris
This was a really lovely workout and shows how you don't have to be going at a mega fast pace to get your heart rate up. This is perfect for anyone looking to dip their toe in the intermediate step pond as the choreography is great. And if you're flailing, don't stress about it, I flailed massively when I first started Chris's workouts! Thanks so much Chris, hope you enjoy the rest of your day 😊 xx
I love these intermediate classes, not boring but not complicated choreography. Thanks Chris!
I started stepping this year in april. I never did it before. I did all the learning step tutorials on this channel and now I can follow the class. Except the merry-go-round. I need to practice that. It took me 7 months before I could follow the classes on saturday. It is very satisfying to see my onw progress in stepping every week. Thanks Chris!
YAY!!!!!!! Great job!! You will nail that Merry Go Round soon!! I know it!!
That last song is million dollar baby and let me tell you- I was dragging and that came on and gave me a turbo boost! Love it!
I have not been able to do a live class in a while. You never disappoint. NEVER.
Thanks! I did this class when it first came out and did pretty well. SO I just did it again with a riser and didn't miss one step. So excited. I felt so good after the class, I did your stretch after step, but came back to comment!
I just got my step today!🎉 So excited to finally do these workouts woohoo let's get it ladies! 😜💪
Chris, I really appreciate your workouts but mostly I appreciate you as an instructor. You never make us feel guilty for not gettin a move right or taking a break. It sounds silly but we all know how many instructors out there make working out seem like a burden. Thank you so much ❤
Awe thanks!!! Hey, if you are moving and doing the best you can, you are doing it right!!!! Keep up the good work!
Million dollar baby! Nice one. I’m recovering from surgery but getting back into it!!❤
❤❤ I had so much fun !! It was great!!
Love step- all levels and speed!! Thanks Chris! ❤
I appreciate the break down classes. It's great for those of us that are "coordination challenged" 💜
You're so welcome!
Great routine, Chris, thank you! Loved the music too! You are so right! It takes practice and determination! Most are not an "expert" when they start something new, it takes practice. I have been doing step for over 10 years and I still get tripped up. The key is to stay with it, and you will get it! It is all about that mindset!! You are the best Chris!
This was an awesome step workout. Almost got the Merry-Go-Round Down. Thanks for keeping your workouts fresh and fun!
YOU GOT THIS!!!
I loved this so much!!!!!! If Chris doesn’t say it I don’t do it!!! 160bpm 😳
I would be on the floor!!!! Thank you Chris for keeping us safe! ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
Much love to you and our fitness family!!
Intermediate step is my fav! Thanks Chris - so fun!
Taking a mental health day today. Feeling down. Chose this as my “next right thing”. Helpful to get my mind off things for 50 mins. Perfect pace. Greatest hits of step moves. Thank you for all you do.
OMG! This was really fun and I'm a giant ball of sweat!! Thank you, Chris!!!
Fun routine, great choreography, excellent instruction, super encouragement, and common sense advice 🎉. Thank You Chris 👍🤗🩵
Thanks honey!
Finally nailed the merry go round!!🙌 so much fun, thank you so much!💞
Woo hoo! Way to go!!🥳
OMG I did a 45-min class!! 🔥Also so thrilled to be able to keep up with intermediate choreo! Thank you so much for taking the time to add links to the tutorial in the description!! 🙏🏼
Telling the person who wanted 160 bpm was all class and what a professional should say. Respect. Great one! The first move tripped me up the most cause it broke with the norm - so good for the brain! ❤️🇨🇦🍋
This one was great! I normally go for something a little faster, but the slower beat allowed me to figure out merry-go-round!
Great step workout! I started a bit over a year ago as a total newbie. I needed to start exercising more regularly for health reasons and thought step would be fun. I found Chris’s workouts and did lots of beginner workouts and the tutorials. I love how Chris is so personable and encouraging! She gives options if you can’t get something and believes in you. Thank you Chris!
Thank you, another ace step class that flew by. Easy to follow too. Have a great weekend.
Just had to do this again as I was Feeling Step. Such a great workout. Thanks Chris!!!!
This is a great workout. It has just the right amount of choreography. It also helps to have it taught by someone who truly knows what she's doing . . . a true professional with a terrific attitude and wonderful personality. 5 stars out of 5!
Thank you so so much Eric!!!
I love the merry-go-round, it's one of my favourite moves!!!
This was a fun routine with great teaching! Thanks Chris!
Love 💕 your pumpkin pants. Didn’t think I’d enjoy this slower speed but I did. Thanks Chris
❤ this one! I appreciate the slower pace, I used it as an opportunity to use two risers on my step. Great choreography. Thank you.
Step is always a favorite cardio day for me! This is great for someone newer to intermediate, or someone with some experience who wishes to add a riser for the first time or to bump up the intensity a notch. Lots of fun as always, thank you!
Love the choreography on this one. I got the merry-go-round, and I'm typically a clutz. Thanks, Chris!
The merry go round is my new favorite move, I've been doing step since the 80s and that was my first merry go round. I love that you can still teach me new moves and keep it fresh! Best step, best trainer ever!!!
WOOO so much fun isn't?!! Thanks so much!!!
This is one of my favorites! Thank you! 😊
So proud of myself for completing all the moves!!! Thanks Chris for allowing me to see progress!
You are the queen of flow Chris! Thank you
Thank you so much!
Loved it! How have I never done a merry-go-round before?? So much fun! Thanks, Chris.
You are so welcome!
I've been stepping since the mid-90s, and I think this was the first time I've done the merry-go-round. It took me a few tries to get it, but it was such a fun addition to the routine! Thanks for always keeping it interesting!
I LOVED this one!! I know there isn’t always time for it, but it was amazing to have an intermediate one with breakdowns. So great!
Merci encore pour ce nouveau cours j adore vos cours vous êtes la meilleure😘😍🥰😇🤪🤭💙💙💙💙🤍🤍💯💥.BIG BIG kisses for your dogs💛💛💛💛🤍🤍🤍🐶🐕🐱🐈🐒🐵
Awesome class…loved the merry-go-round!! Definitely saved this one to enjoy again! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great music = great workout!! Thanks Chris!! 🎉
I bavent done a full step workout in some time and this was perfect. Thank, Chris!😊
YAy! Thanks Jessica!
I’m used to doing the faster pace but I found this seemed to work my muscles more. Incredibly humid here in sunny Sydney so I was sweating buckets. All my favourite moves, just love ‘walk the dog’!
I learned the scissors and the revolving door so I was ready for the merry go round! Thanks so much for all you do.
Loved it! Perfekt tempo today for me🙏❤️
I really appreciated the slower BPM and the breakdown. It took me a long time to get out of my comfort zone and try intermediate and I am so glad I did. I am so happy I found you and your channel. You are the best and these step workouts are so much fun. Thank you ❤️ - Katharine (Kat) W.
YOU are doing great!! I am so proud of you! Thanks Katharine!
Learned a new move today and after practice, I nailed it! Thank you for the challenge!
WOOO GO LESLIE!

I do love the no breakdown classes but these ones are great for days when this old brain is moving a bit slower 😂 You make step accessible to all levels. ❤ I appreciate you!
Thank YOU Melissa!

Love this choreography!!! I finally mastered the scissor!!! Merry Go Round I modified with a step on floor and then on the bench. ❤️❤️❤️
YAY!!! great job Christina!
This shows cardio doesn’t always have to be fast for me this burnt 322 calories and 5000 steps. All done with a smile on my face. Thank you Chris for you that you do to make workouts fun. Xx
A triple cute curl & a merry go round…I’m in heaven🥰

Sometimes it's good to slow down a bit and really feel the moves. This was another goodie, thanks as always Chris!! : )
Thanks Randy!
Great workout with intermediate.. cannot get enough practice with those moves! Some days you just need a workout that doesn't frustrate! Thanks Chris
Great workout ... even for the brain ... thank you so much!

I finally completed my Cardio Rehab since my heart attack in July. Thank you Chris! Your workouts helped me get there! ❤❤❤
Great workout. Love the mix between cardio and strength. Keep them coming.
I went, “around the world” successfully and almost cried tears of joy 😂
Thank you, Christina, for posting your workouts!! Step has been my favorite of all time, and there aren't any classes near me.
I love this step class! I have been doing it over and over. Thanks again for all that you do to bring us high quality workouts at home!
You're so welcome!
Marvelous!!! Marvelous!!! Thank you!
Thank you too!

Always Thanks!
Thanks, Chris. I'm saving this as I was so close to getting the merry-go-round, plus it was fun 😊
Love this - Always good to change it up & some days our brains need a little extra help 🤪❤
This one was so fun!! Love it!
Great step routine and cardio workout. Thank you!
my bday gift to myself - a fun workout with you!!!! thanks!
Slowly working my way back up to advanced. I was not perfect at all. I kept moving, had fun and I finished, which is what matters most to me. Off to find a new mobility of yours I have yet to do! Thanks Chris!
FINALLY learned the Merry Go Round- you are right, so much more fun than doing the V-Step!! WooHoo, this one is my new favorite ❤
Loved this!! My first full intermediate step and I got it all by the end. Enjoyed the challenge to get some new moves and learn
WOOO GREAT JOB!
This was so much fun! Thank you!
Great Workout!! I'm catching on and feeling great about it!!!!
yes take responsibility! Thank you for saying that!!!
It's disgusting hot here in Australia rn but I"M STILL DOING STEP WOOOOO!!!
Well done everyone this was so exhilarating once I'd mastered the moves 😎 and the time flew by. Thanks for challenging the brain as well as the body. xx
Great fun and I got it all in the end! Thanks so much. Maybe I can make it to Advanced!
I did this in the after party this morning. I feel so accomplished 😁 This is exactly what I needed today thanks for the breakdown Chris this was a lot of fun!
