I just have to share a positive outcome that I attribute to Step Aerobics. Yesterday morning, I was in the hay barn and made an error stepping backwards, forgetting that my location was in a place where there was uneven flooring. So, when I stepped backwards with my right foot, I unexpectedly stepped down into a 5 inch deep crevice created by two different platforms that were not aligned against each other. That unexpected drop caused me to start plummeting backward and to the right, but my left foot came instinctively up and around, onto the platform and lifted my right foot out of the crevice, but by then I am still plummeting and my body was at a 45 degree angle, like falling headlong, but with most of the momentum to the right rather than forward. So, left foot gets me up onto the intended platform, right foot flies out of the crevice onto the platform, left and right foot over and over repeatedly saving me as I plummeted to the right out of the barn and into the barnyard. My legs were strong enough and fast enough each time to catch me and catch me again and again and again even as I left the second platform and the barn altogether at this unexpected angle and rate. I finally stopped plummeting and was once again on steady feet, having never hit the ground. At 62 years of age, I owe not falling and seriously injuring myself to the step aerobics I've been doing with hubby and Jenny since early February this year. There are so many moves in those routines that force us to learn how to go off balance, yet stay balanced, the lunges backwards, forwards, off to the right, off to the left, one leg, two legs, left leg, right leg, etc., etc. My body, from the brain to my toes, was completely prepared to handle that mishap and this makes all those sweaty workouts so so so worth it!💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 I just had to share and thank you, Jenny, for putting out a program that is so easy to follow, yet so beneficial to those of us who choose to workout along with you!
