What is Group Step?
Group Step is a simple, athletic workout that will shape and tone your entire
lower body and push your fat burning systems into high gear. The group atmosphere
is inspiring. The music and energy is addictive. You may have experienced a step
class, but that doesn’t mean you’ve experienced Group Step!
Using simple-to-follow moves and a great mix of pop music, Group Step
allows you to train at the intensity you want without having to learn a complicated
sequence of moves. Effective and easy-to-follow moves provide a high-energy,
athletic cardio blast that is simple enough for men and women of all ages and
fitness levels.
You control how hard you work by simply altering the height of your step and increasing
or decreasing your range of movements. This exhilarating workout provides a range of
benefits including muscle toning, calorie burning and lower body muscle definition.

Group Step Benefits
Group Step works both the upper and lower body at a muscular conditioning level.
It will also improve coordination and agility through the various movements during a
class. These include multidirectional movements, rapid changes in direction, level
changes (dropping from a higher to a lower stance) and variations of foot-strike and
lever length.
Strength gains from Group Step are generally realized through improved muscular
endurance. Incorporated between periods of cardiovascular conditioning are specific,
muscular conditioning tracks that focus primarily on the upper body and secondarily
on the abs and mid section. For example:
- Climb over 2000 steps (approximately 3.5 miles) in one hour.
- On and off step movements promote strength endurance for buttocks, the front of the legs, the back of the legs, and calves (no wonder Group Step participants have such great legs!).
- Push-ups promote abdominal control and muscular strength endurance for the chest, the shoulders and the back of the arms.
- Squats and lunges help to improve strength of the lower body including buttocks, the front of the legs, the back of the legs and calves.
