Using these precautions before you start your step aerobics workout will help you to get the best out of it. It will also help prevent injuries that can be inflicted if you don’t do it correctly.
Before you start, make sure that you are in good enough shape to start this aerobic exercise. Otherwise, you will find yourself out of breath before you get into it good enough.
Your foot should be on the step. It should be the entire foot, not part of it. You need to be able to balance well when you are stepping on and off. If you don’t you could lose your balance and possibly fall or injure yourself. This is crucial if you are stepping to fast music.
The knees should measure up over your ankles. Don’t do lunges as you are stepping up on to the platform. You want to make sure that the knee stays over the ankle each time you step up.
Only use so many risers with the step. Two or three risers should be the recommended amount, depending on your height. The stepper needs to be comfortable enough where you won’t endure stress with your back and your knees.
Keep a straight posture as you step up and down. Do not bend your back or hips forward. When you are doing step aerobics, skip the hand or ankle weights. Using weights while you are stepping can cause injuries to your knees, shoulders and ankles. You are already moving fast and having weights is an extra burden that can stress out the joints.
