The benefits of an (aerobic) step

An aerobic step, also known as a 'fitness step', is a versatile accessory that should be a part of any gym or in your home. You can use it for much more than simply a stepping stone for the classic 'stepping' with music. In this blog, we discuss the versatility of a step.

Let's start with the question of what a step really is. A step is a platform made of plastic, an average of one meter long and 40 centimeters wide. You often see steps used during group classes in a gym, but it can also stand as a 'loner' among the strength training accessories. A step is usually height adjustable. The higher the step, the more intense the workout. The advantage of a step is that you can use it at any training level and it 'grows' with the increased intensity of workouts, for example by adjusting it in height or doing more complex exercises.
