First Step Class In 3 Years

I've decided to go my first step class in 3 years. I really hope I can at least finish the class. I haven't decided if I'm going to use a step or just do it without. It's still exercise without, right? Anyway, wish me luck!

You bet your booty its good cardio exercise ;)

first step class in 3 years, take it easy/slow

go without the step at first, then ease into it -

not using a step definitely counts - your body is moving

whatever/however long you do the class is terrific,

don't push it - if you can't finish that's ok - you've got your whole life ahead of you to do plenty of exercise :):(

BTW - Dr. has approved you for exercise, right? - if not, give him a call

enjoy

Yeah, I'm approved for everything except lifting and ab work. It was so much fun! I used the step for about 90% of the class, then I got tired. I'm just coming off of a stall, and I wanted to shake things up a bit, everyone says that it helps. I'll have to see what I feel like tomorrow, because last time I overdid it and had to go back to walking.

I love step class! We do it in aerobics every other week. It is fun and time goes by fast. You do burn 600 calories!
