There are now many types of Aerobics classes, with many different names and disciplines; Here are just a few; Dance Aerobics, Step Aerobics, Kick Aerobics, Body Toning/Conditioning Legs Bums and Tums ( these focus more on low impact toning moves)
A class that combines low-impact and body-conditioning exercises with a raised platform or "step" to accelerate and intensify the workout to your lower body. Step aerobics is particularly beneficial for developing and strengthening the muscles in your legs, spine and hips, and also works on your co-ordination.
I teach Step at Watford Central Sundays 12.30pm.
