Step Cardio

The Step Cardio classes offered at O'Wellness increase cardio endurance through rhythmic movements performed on a step platform. They offer a fun workout while improving coordination and a sense of tempo.

Step Cardio is a classic 45-minute cardio class made up of choreographed movement patterns performed to music on an adjustable-height step platform. It develops coordination, rhythm and endurance at the same time.

The session begins with a warm-up in which basic steps are taught, continues with progressively combined choreography blocks, and finishes with a short lower-body toning section and cool-down stretching. Platform height is adjusted to the participant’s level.

Step Cardio is an ideal starting and continuing class for members who want to build a fun, joint-friendly and sustainable cardio habit.
