Many years ago there was a movie called "Perfect" that came out. It starred John Travolta as a Rollingstone reporter doing a story on dating in and around the then gym industry. Jamie Lee Curtis starred as an aerobics instructor. Word is they tried in vain to get Olivia Newton John to do it(she had just released the song "physical") but she turned it down. The point of my little reflection is that the concept behind "aerobics classes" has changed so much in the past 20-30 years. At the very least leg warmers are out! So to is the unitard. Thank God.

These days you aren't limited to a few choriographed moves on the step to get a good workout. At the same time using the step can be benificial to anyone. Could you imagine 25 years ago if Arnold was usuing a step to get his legs in shape. Blasphemy! Only weights can get your legs in shape. Untrue. Very untrue.

I love the step. I make all of my clients men and women alike use it to some degree. You can buy an aerobic step at any walmart,target, or Academy these days. I highly suggest getting one if you have ahome gym.

Karen is shown doing a plyometric leg circuit here. try doing 1 minute of each exercise she does in succession without any break. Miserable!
