This was fun. I’m 66 years old and have been doing step aerobics for over 35 years it is my favorite aerobic exercise and it works my brain too. Bring on basic intermediate or advanced I love them all and it truly does get easier with practice. Think with your feet and it becomes second nature those 8 counts get into your brain!! ❤

Started Step with Gin Miller in the 80s and probably still have my VHS tapes. As far as I can tell I'm older than anyone who has commented here.

thx chris....that was sooo great....i am a advanced Stepper.....but this was absolutly not boring....i like to train varied❤😊thxxxx

Following the routine this week, Step DONE! I'm 45 I started doing step in 2004 and continued thru 2009 fairly consistently at a gym 2x a week and fell COMPLEATLY IN LOVE with it. I had my 1st baby in late 2009 (still did step through out my pregnancy) I went back for a bit after she arrived but eventually stopped the gym membership. Over the next 5 years I had 2 miscarriage's and 2 more babies. I found an old step at a thrift shop and have found & own a few step VHS and DVD's but they were not great. I never loved them. Found you in Oct of 2023 and have been doing your step video's since. I LOVE them just as much if not MORE than gym step! I feel lucky and blessed to have found you and have told so many of my friends about your channel!

Nice and easy, 67 yo and doing step what seems like forever. Love step, glad I can always find it on your channel

I am 69 years olds and was an avid stepper a few decades ago..lol. I retired about 5 years ago and have been doing a variety of things, yoga, strength training, etc. At the beginning of this year I found your channel and just love it! I have been doing many of the basic step classes you have and they are all so good. My 2 small dogs love to supervise as yours does. Thanks for keeping this older nana in shape.

I’m 65 next month. Love step! Not hard on my knees but still a great workout. Thanks for the lower speed music.

I am 61, have not done step in years until I found Chris 2 years ago. Now I am doing strength training with Chris and love it. Thanks so much for kind loving spirit.

Hello from Uruguay! Thank you so much for the step choreographies. I have a lot of trouble with coordination and, obviously, have been avoiding any kind of training that involves this type of skill. However, I've read that activities involving coordination are crucial for maintaining brain health, especially at my age (57). Therefore, I decided to tackle this unfinished business again, something I had tried before but without good results. Your videos let me pause, rewind, and replay any class as many times as I need. Things seem to be changing... and I'm making great progress! 🧡💛💚💙

Hey ya I've just turned 50 and I'm slowly getting back into step. It would be rude not to seeing as I got a step platform for my birthday in January. I look forward to doing step. I even do it outside on a nice day 😊

I am 55 and I used to do step a long time ago, maybe in the 90's. I did it today without a step cause I don't have one, I def needed beginner to get the moves. Tried a harder step workout last week, I did ok. Today was better 😊❤

I’m so glad you came back!!!! Yep practice and you will get better and better! I am so proud of you!

I’m 54. I did step back in the early 90s but have only been back stepping for the last 6 months or so. My hubby found a step at an estate sale for $1 and was kind of joking when he asked if I wanted it. I was so excited! I found you, Chris, and have not looked back! I love it more now than I did then. Your enthusiasm and encouragement are just the best!! You keep me determined to improve!

I'm 64 and started doing step at age 61 and loving it! Thanks to your awesome tutorials. ❤ Why did I wait SO long ?

I am 67 and just recently rediscovered step aerobics. It is my favorite cardio, and I am so happy to have found it again. I even bought myself a new step to celebrate!

I'm 68 years old. I started stepping 12 years ago when my athletic club had a contest for people to try new classes. I was intimated by the step class, but even with stopping to get my bearings, I worked up a sweat and realized this was a fabulous workout program. Each week I got comfortable with a new routine (such as rocking horse) and eventually was able to follow the calls without watching the instructor. I've been doing step at least twice a week ever since. I found cdorner when the world shut down and am now a big fan. I did this short class today so that I could follow it with strength training, got to work on those bones as they are getting thin. Thank you Chris.

Love all your step workouts but I do like doing a shorter basic routine on strength days. And all the cute curls made me smile throughout! I’m 68 & have done step aerobics since Gin Miller invented it!🥰

I'm 70! I bought a step and first learned with Chris's tutorials in 2020 (at age 66). I had never done step before, and now I'm working on the advanced classes. I love it! Thanks Chris!

I totally love this basic walk. I practiced my ‘listening’ skills without staring at the tv screen. I will be 68 in 19 days and I am having a blast! Thank you, Chris! ❤️

52 Years young. I WO with a step w/Chris on the basic classes - basic to intermediate I do the class on a mat until I feel comfortable then will progress to a step. Used to do step in my 20's - only getting back to enjoying because of Chris and her Channel/Program. 🖐Aussie Sally

Just back from constant visits to the hospital to visit my husband, who was extremely unwell with pneumonia. This is a great little workout to get me back in the flow. I also did my strength training. I feel better for all of it! Thanks so much for your wonderful workouts Christina! You feel like a friend to me. PS - I am 73 years old now, and can still climb up and down all the flights of stairs in the hospital without any effort. Yey! xx

I'm 62 and have been doing step for about 30 years. I love all your step classes and sometimes it is nice to slow things down and keep it simple. Thank you for the variety of your step classes, love it!!

Been doing step since my 20’s. I’m nOw 56 and have been stepping with you since March 2020!!! I love all your workouts and now I don’t have to leave my house!!!

Hi Chris I’m 57 and I’ve been doing step for over 30 years! But I’m doing strength training with you too, I love it! Thank you so much🥰

Thanks Chris for a great class. I am 54 years old and have doing step with Chris for 6 months. Started with the basics and tutorials, worked up to strength training, mobility and intermediate/advanced step, and now I do the live Saturday classes! Every morning in the basement at 5 am, but these 6 months have been transformational with how I feel and how I feel about myself. I am back to basic this week because we went hiking in the sand dunes of Sleeping Bear in MI (I could do it bc of this channel!) and at 54 I am giving my body a rest week with stretching and basic classes so that I can do this for the long term. Thank you Chris for all that you do--you are a rock star!💫

I am 63. I started doing step aerobics in 1998 after we moved back home from our 3 year tour in Belgium. I did the classes at the Y and then my favorite teacher moved. So I took up running at a very slow pace and started yoga. Last year I started back with step aerobics but then the Y dropped it so now I’m so glad to have found your program Christina! Thank you for your different levels!

I'm 66, too. I did step in the 80s, then switched to spinning. Found Chris during the pandemic and step has been my favorite thing since.

I’m turning 80 in August! Started stepping with Jane Fonda & Gin Miller & Gilad! Have stayed with step all these years. I never did care for advanced step but trade days on basic & intermediate classes. Rock on 🤘

Consistency moves you forward! ❤

I am 52 and started step in the early 90s but stopped for a while and recently started back.

I’m 56 and been doing step since around 1992? Many years. Love it! After swimming it’s my favorite cardio!! Menopause has been kicking my ass lately but I’m so happy for these short and not-too-intense workouts when I feel up to it. Did this after work today and was perfect for me. Used a step with one riser and took a water/walking break around 15 minutes in. I love your encouragement Chris. You never make me feel bad for taking a break when I need to take care of myself instead of pushing needlessly. You’re right exercise should be fun and nothing to get stressed about missing steps, falling behind or struggling with the choreography! Have fun everyone! I’m totally uncoordinated and after all these years of practice can easily follow Chris she’s such an excellent teacher! 👋🇨🇦🥰🏃🏼‍♀️💕💪💕

I apologize for long post. I started teaching in '87. Became the one of 3 certifield in my state in Step Aerobicsim '90. Taught 2 classes a day for 5 days. Ran a health club teaching 1x a day, certified personal trainer and substituted. Took a break in '95 to run a marathon. Left step and ran/walked. Total walking in 2007, just walking. Now at 68 I'm trying to gain back some cardio and strength and your class is the first instructor that steps to the beat and calls instruction like I did. So easy to follow you. Great job!

I’m 72 and loving following you. You constantly challenge my mind and body. Thank you Chris!

I'm 50! I've been doing step since the 90s and love all levels, and chose which level and pace I want to do based on how I feel to keep consistently working out. Thanks Chris and all the commenters. I love the age range and how you are motivating people to continue working out no matter how old or young they are. You're the best!

67, new to step and loved this...love it so much I'm gonna upgrade my step to wider one with optional risers.....thank you Christina 💌💌💌💌

Great class as always I am 57 been doing step for a long time just recently within the last year started back up thanks to you and your classes.

I am 69 years old and have been doing step since my 20's. I took time off in my 50's, but started back again in my 60's. You have all the workouts I will ever need! Thank you. Cheryl W.

YAY!! Thank you so so much for joining me Cheryl!!!!

I really enjoyed this basic step today! It was constant state cardio for 25 minutes. I have been exercising since July 2009. I’m 47 going to turn 48 in August. Thank you so much!

I greatly enjoy stepping with you! I have just started working out after years of dormancy. Your videos and instruction makes it fun and challenging for a 60-year-old! Thank you so much for sharing this gift!!

I like these more basic, slower style of classes as they allow me to add a riser (which I don't normally do for various reasons). I'm 62 and have been stepping on-and-off for about 30 years. Thanks to Chris' fabulous training and class variety, my stepping is more ON than off, and I'm way better at it!🎉

I am 56 and have been doing step for 31 years. I LOVED this workout. It felt like I was in a group fitness class without the judgement. It was fun, and yes, I was smiling!

Great basic step on my active rest day! I'm 50 and I have been doing step for 33 years.

Hi Chris, I‘m back to leave you a comment. This was a realy good workout today, not to fast, not to hard, perfect for my sore legs😇(too much via ferrata climbing yesterday) So you asked us to tell you about how old we are and how long we are doing steps. Well, I‘m 39 years old and I‘m doing step classes about 15 or 16 years (not continuous, cause beeing pregnant for twice and beeing a mommy doesn‘t come easy to me). In October 2023 I found your KZread channel and now I belief in warm-up, cardio, strengh and stretch💪🧘‍♀️ Thank you so much for all the things you give, it feels so good to me❤️

This was great. Almost 47 here. Chris, you’re such a great instructor, whether it’s an intermediate/advanced or a basic, you’re always so encouraging. I usually do intermediate, but it’s nice to do a basic once in a while and I was still so sweaty! Loved Louis’s step - so cute! Thank you!

I'm 58 and really enjoyed this Step routine. I haven't done much stepping in many a year but you brought it back! I'm having fun working towards a fitter me!

I’m 69 and I’ve been doing step with you for about a year. First time commenting, so I’m no longer a vampire. Thank you.

I’m a fast basic girl but it’s a nice change of pace to slow things down once in a while. I used two risers and got a good sweat going. I’m 40 and I’m in better shape now than I was in my 20s thanks to CDorner fitness. I have been stepping with you for two years and I love it! Thanks Chris! - Kat W

63 yrs Did this years ago and loved it, now back for more! Not as easy this time around! 😂😂 Love everything you do! Thank you

Nice basic step routine. I'm 60 and started doing step in the 1990's. At first I didn't like it because i was used to doing the floor aerobic classes, but now love step. I think it helps with coordination and helping catch yourself when you almost trip and fall. Thank you, Chris for helping me exercise through Covid and beyond...

54 this month. Started stepping in my 20's and loved it! I had found my workout. Then life happened and had to stop. Picked back up 2 years ago with Chris. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE step aerobics. Also added in strength training.

I'm 61 and started doing your step workouts in June 😊. I did step in the 80s, and I'm glad to get back into it.

I’m 50. I loved this class ❤ Thank you so much for bringing step back in to my life.

54, doing step for a year and a half with you, also did it in my 20s and early 30s. Love the fun and variety of your classes❤. Keeps me motivated & I am never bored when I work out with you.

So happy I was able to join live step again, I really loved this ! Simple moves and I put my risers on and got my heart rate up there! I’m 50 and seriously in best shape because of your workouts , especially strength training, thankyou Chris 🤗 Cardio and step is more fun for me but I also love the feeling of getting stronger!

I'm turning 65 in October. I used to teach step in the late 90s and early 2000's. However, taking time to raise two boys took my focus off my fitness. I discovered Chris 's channel in 2022 and slowly started my return to fitness. I purposely stayed away from step. I was afraid that I would no longer love my old friend. Finally, I decided to start back. I ordered a new step from Amazon and looked at it for about a week, avoiding it and telling myself, "maybe tomorrow ". Finally, I decided to go for it. It was not love at first step, but I have kept at it. I 'm not sure if I will ever be an advanced stepper who breezes through the Saturday classes, but I 'm ok with that! I just want to have fun, sweat, and enjoy another form of staying young at heart❤ Thanks again Chris for sharing your gifts with us !

As more of an intermediate stepper, I used this basic class as a recovery day!!!! Everyone can benefit from one!😊

Hello, have been doing your workouts for a couple of months now after recently being diagnosed with osteoporosis. I am 67 years old, female and considered myself to be very fit weighing only 50kg and standing 155cm tall and have been a vegetarian for around 40 years. I have been dancing since I was 7 years old firstly tap dancing & ballet and then moved on to Rollerdancing in my 30's and am currently ballroom dancing & latin dancing 4 times a week which I have done for the past 30 years. I walk daily and also ride a bicycle about twice a week and now I am doing workouts of strength training and also yoga and of course step aerobics on a daily basis. Good job I am retired right!. I am really enjoying your workouts and have not progressed past the beginner levels yet because I want to build up my strength further before I tackle the more difficult workouts. Looking forward to continuing and getting stronger. Thanks again for the fabulous workouts.

I’m 59. I’ve been doing step… again for about 9 months. I was looking for a workout that I would do consistently. I found Chris’s channel and I was so excited. I didn’t know people still did step😂. I don’t use a step. I didn’t want to buy yet another piece of equipment that I didn’t use. I started doing her routines and LOVE them. Get a such a great workout that I haven’t gotten a step yet but my plan is to soon. Grateful for Chris and her community ❤❤❤

Just finished this beginner step. I’m 60 and haven’t done a step class in over 30 years! Loved ❤ it! Thank you!

I’m 63 & have done step aerobics since the early 90’s. Step makes me happy, but your strength training has made me stronger! Thanks Chris!

I am 59 years old and I started doing basic step about three years ago. Chris has been so instrumental towards my progression to intermediate and then advanced step. And yes, I rolled my eyes when she would lecture about strength. At first. Let me tell you, she's right. Strength training is vital to everyone no matter their age. Thank you Chris! ❤

I just discovered your channel a week ago. Great classes!!! I'm 77 and it's never too late to get into exercise!! Thank you!

WOOOO Welcome!! You got that right, never too old!! I hope I am still doing this at 77!

I’m 73 years and have been doing step for about 6 months. I do it at least twice a week. I lift weights 4x per week and walk 5 miles 6 days per week. Now I just need to eat healthier.

Chris yours is truly my favorite channel! You are so inspiring, knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. I’ve also seen and can feel such a transformation happening within me physically and mentally since I’ve been working out with you. I love your dogs, appreciate your producer (DJ Kevy Kev), and so look forward to when your friends join. You’re the BEST!

I'm 61 and I think I did my first step workout in 1992? I'm so grateful to have found you Chris and absolutely love all of the different levels of step that you offer, plus your weekly strength training program!!! You're amazing!!!

Loved it! 51 years old here!

I’m a beginner stepper. I just turned 67 years old and always found step to be too complicated. Thank you for making classes that are accessible for all levels. So fun!

53 loved stepping in 90s

I am 60; soon to be 61 in August. I started step in 2021 when I couldn't get outside to walk as much due to taking care of my bedridden adult daughter who has TBI. I would consider myself to be up to intermediate in step. I cannot seem to move onto advanced. I usually cannot focus enough to learn advanced moves and cannot commit to hour long workouts. I find 30-40 min workouts to be best for me since I cannot spend anymore than that at a time due to taking care of my daughter. You are my best hope of learning advanced step since you are such a great instructor. I liked this step workout, because it was short, easy and fun. I combined it with a 25 min lower body workout which I did at a separate time the same day. Thanks for all your hard work!

This was a really fun, quick, sweaty workout! I am 42 and have been doing step for about 25 years (but not consistently). I am so glad I found your channel because it has helped me rediscover how much I love step ❤ thanks for all your amazing workouts!

Easy going but I honestly tought that it was more difficult going slow compared to fast. Made me think of all the moves, I didn’t rush into it. It was a great workout for starting the week. Thank you Chris! ❤

62 and stepping for 20 years. Love your classes! Just found your workouts a month ago. Moved from Cathe Frederich to you. I needed a change and you are fantastic. Thank you for the hard work and dedication you put into your workouts.

I’m 58. I used to do step back in the day (80’s 90’s). I love it and I love the variety in your work outs.

Love the different levels so I can change up between one and two risers! I just turned 58 and stepped for 12 years between 1990-2002 and loved it. I thought step had gone away (no more good videos) until I found you 9 months ago. You have brought joy back to my life with your step classes. Thank you so much for all that you do!

This was a blast! I’m 45 years old and I’ve been stepping for 11 years. It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve been working out consistently whether it would be strength or step so I started with basic today because I feel like when I start back on advanced where I left off prior to slowing down on my working out, I feel defeated because it’s so much harder for me to keep up. Starting back at the beginning used to hurt my pride but I realize now that the most important thing is to get moving. Have a blessed day 😊

Thanks again I needed a workout with an uplift that, you always provide, I’m in the UK and I’ve left my step out to do one of your dumbbell workouts when I get back home later this afternoon from helping my daughter with my beautiful granddaughters 16 months and 9 days old so I need these workouts to keep me fit xxxx oh and I’m 55 xx

It’s pouring here so I can’t do my evening walk outside and I said, hmm I wonder if Chris has like a 25 minute fast basic step? And I turned on KZread and there it was because of course you have one, you have sooooo many options!!! You’re simply the best. I’m 43 and for the first time in my life, since finding you a year and a half ago, I’m taking care of my body. I never knew what that looked like before finding you, to be honest, because exercise felt like punishment most of the time. But every without with you is FUN and engaging and leaves me a sweaty smiling mess. Thanks for being a ray of sunshine and light!! 💡 I appreciate you so much and it’s so clear how much work you put into what you do. ❤❤❤

So happy I got to do a step class live!!! Great quick hit for when you’re short on time but want to get a workout in!! Thanks Chris!!

I’m 60 & just getting started with step…..loving it❣️

I am 53 and just re-starting step. I love your workouts, please have your dogs visit more! My dog works out with me too.

I’m 67 and have been doing step since l wasin my late 30”s. added strength training, serious strength training in the last 2 years. Been following Chris for 3 years. Thank you!

I'm 49. I used to teach step and aerobics in my early 20s for about 2 years. I just picked it back up with you a few months ago. I love your classes. Thank you!

I’m 55 and have been doing step since early 90.s. When my children were young in early 2000’s would go to same step class with a group of women for 9 years! I was totally a cardio queen, now love to do strength training! We called ourselves the “step sisters” our instructor was a trained dancer so lots of fun moves. Love your class, it brings me back to those years with my Step Sisters. Nice to go a bit slower today. ❤️🌷

51 years old. I have been doing Chris’ workouts consistently since early last year, and haven’t done step since my early twenties. I have had so much fun! Picked this one up to do because my legs are SO sore from yesterday’s leg workout. I stacked the vertical step after and now my legs feel much better and I completed an hour of cardio! I can attest to the fact that the strength training makes a big impact on step endurance. Thanks, Chris!❤

Did this after the Thighs workout. I’m 43 and just started stepping in February. Fast Basic is my favorite but today I decided to do this routine to get a little more work in. Chris… I really enjoy your workouts and have been tell anyone who asks me what exercises I’m doing to check out your channel!

I am 51 and feeling better and stronger than when I was a young woman. Glad I found your channel you are fun to workout with and love seeing your sweet puppers🐾🫶🏻

Thank you so much Christina!! I am so proud of you!

I am 65 and have been doing step for 25 years. Eek, I can't believe that! I have found a place with you that meets all levels and moods. Some days , I really need to take it easier and do a basic or beginner workout. On others, I am up for more of a challenge. I can do intermediate and some advanced. No matter what, I hear you telling me to modify when I need to, listen to my body, and keep trying!!

I’m 45 and love your step videos! I took step classes 20 years ago and then didn’t do it for many years. I started up with your videos in September but ended up getting some knee pain a few months ago. I took a couple months off and I’m just getting back to it. I really enjoyed this and your smiling face and motivating personality! You are the best!

Did step “back in the day” & at 57 loving step again! Thanks, Chris! ❤

Im from Denmark and im 36 years old. I have been doing step 3 times a week before kids (9 years ago) and starting up again. I LOVE your videos, jokes (like it's not taxes we are doing) and your energi. Thank you for making this workouts. 💪🏽

I am 45 and have been doing step with Chris for almost 4 years now. I am so proud of how I have stuck with it and not given up. I love going back to the basic for a lighter workout and also for a rest day. Chris provides such great information in each video and I have also incorporated more strength in my weekly workouts and love the changes I am seeing.

66 yrs old. Just getting back to but did some in my 30’s. Love it!

Hello Been doing step for 3 yrs. I’m 55 and these basic classes still get me sweaty ! Love them all !

This was a simple step. It is a great one to start with for a beginner. I am 54 and used to do step many years ago. I got back to it after back surgery and my second battle with cancer. I am so happy I am doing step now.

I am 54 years old. Used to do step back in the day. First day picking it back up and it felt great!
