EveryBody
Steps is a fun-filled Workout Guide to Step Aerobics. This
step-by-step guide will introduce you to all the basic foot
patterns you'll need to know to get you started stepping!
Designed with the brand new
exerciser in mind, this 50 minute workout will walk you through
each step pattern and let you practice as much or as little
as you can manage. Perform ten minutes at a time, evaluate
how you feel, and keep going if you are ready. Follow
the Exercise prescription below, monitor how you feel, take
breaks as needed, and have fun!
Six Week Exercise Prescription
Check with your doctor to make sure the workout
guide below is appropriate for you. We suggest you perform
the workout in 10 minute sections, (by colored segments which
are indicated on the covers), and/or how you feel. You may
gradually increase your duration over time by using the six
week course outlined in the chart below. Make sure you perform
the cool down/slow stretch segment after each workout by simply
fast forwarding to segment 6. Aim to graduate to each new level
every six weeks until you have performed the entire workout.

Thanks for the great DVD! I am 68 years old and had 2 total
knee and 2 total hip replacements almost 2 years ago. I was
totally spastic, as I could not figure out where my feet were.
I did all the therapy but still walked like a duck. I have
tried everything and finally came across “Everybody Steps” – it
is making a tremendous difference! Once I figure out where
my feet are, I will certainly get more of your DVDs.
Thanks for helping with my recovery!
Best regards,
Gretchen
Gin,
I am 68 years old and have been working with a trainer 3 days
a week since November. I would like to say that I love your
tape "Everybody Steps". My trainer wants me to do
Cardio on the days I don't work out with him. I needed something
to do when it was too cold or snowy out to walk. I thought
I'd try your tape. The first time I used it I got up to section
3. I find myself answering you back when you ask how we're
doing. As soon as I am more fit I will get your next tape.
Thanks for making step simple and understandable
for us beginners.

I just got my DVD yesterday. I have to tell you that it made
me soooo happy! I thought there was something wrong with me because
I couldn't do stepping.
I felt like I had 2 left feet, a clutz, a real dumbo. But I could
do this!! I could follow Gin's cues. It all made sense to me.
I DO HAVE RIGHT AND LEFT FEET.
I am so happy I bought this. I could only do up to segment 3
on my first try but I am confident that I will eventually get
to segment 5. I LOVE THIS DVD!!
And "Exerchick" (an instructor)....
Just checked out the Everbody Steps video clip
on the GMF site and loved it. It looks like Gin really explains
the basic step patterns - this workout is a must for anyone frustrated
with all the complex choreography of step at clubs and would
also benefit a lot of instructors!
