Throwback Workout

Perhaps I should've saved this post for tomorrow, so I could do the customary "Throwback Thursday" but I never was very good at following schedules. I'm taking it way back today by talking about my current favorite workout, which happens to be a step aerobics one. Yes, I know this particular workout peaked in the 80's, but when I was in college (no, it was NOT the 80's) I took several step aerobics classes and always found them to be really fun. A workout without it feeling like a workout, which in my humble opinion is the best kind! I've been kind of stuck in a rut lately and whilst sitting and thinking of what I really enjoyed doing that was indoors (stinking Utah weather!) I remembered my love of the step. I dug out my old equipment, YouTubed some videos (which happen to be current, not the old Jane Fonda versions) and I've been doing it ever since. If you've never tried it, I encourage you to do so--a lot of beginners start with no step just to get the moves down and that is a major workout in itself! Here are my favorite videos as of late:





I particularly like Jenny Ford's workouts because they're short so even if you're pressed for time you can get a good workout in (I'm telling you, this is cardio to the tenth degree!) and she is easy to follow.

Have you guys ever done a step aerobics workout? Happy mid-week everyone! XO

    1. At home workouts are my favorite because I'm so much more likely to get them done! I have never heard of T-25, I'll need to check that out because I'm always looking for new workouts. Thanks for stopping by my gorgeous friend! XO -Kim
