Beginner step aerobics is back on workout class timetables and online exercise platforms in 2024 - and I'm not surprised. Not only are we going through a period of intense 90s nostalgia (hello, double denim) but as a certified fitness instructor, the underrated benefits of this low-impact cardio workout are hard to ignore.
Leg warmers and spandex come to mind when most people think of step aerobics. And while this isn't entirely wrong - it's not the face of step aerobics in 2024. Since lockdown, the workout has come back big time - complete with innovative new instructors, bouncy playlists, and exercises that look more at home in a HIIT workout than an aerobics class. Now those who do it are more likely to wear a pair of the best workout leggings from Sweaty Betty than spandex.
