40 Minute Step Aerobics Workout for Seniors, Beginners
This 40 Minute Step Aerobics Workout for seniors and beginners will improve heart health and balance, burn fat, increase strength, and tally up around 3600 steps more or less depending on your pace.
Safety is most important – the step you use should be sturdy and should not slide around. Also, it should be wide enough to enable your entire foot to fit on it as you step.
If you don’t have a step, no worries! This workout transitions nicely into a gentle walk for seniors and beginners. If any of the moves are too much, just march in place or do a move that feels comfortable.
Want more challenge? Add light weights and/or speed up the tempo!

Estimated calorie burn for:
🔥 A 120 lb (54.4 kg) person: 218 calories
🔥 A 200 lb (90.7 kg) person: 366 calories
Please note that these estimates are rough calculations and don't take into account individual variations, such as fitness level, walking speed, terrain, and other factors that can affect calorie burn. Additionally, these estimates include the calories burned during the exercise itself and do not account for the calories burned at rest or through other activities throughout the day.
