I had much better luck with technology today and completed both workouts. I enjoyed seeing all the runners in the background and was slightly envious of them having such a beautiful spot to run. I don’t do any where near enough core work, so I will have to remember to revisit this one. The pace was great and it moved along nicely. Thanks!

Only made it to the 55% mark before my AirPlay stopped working. I played around with it for the next 40-45 minutes and couldn’t get it working again, so I gave up. Too bad - I had been enjoying today’s workout!

Training both upper and lower body on the same day was great, although sometimes I like the option to do splits. I like how this challenge has been set-up so far - one upper body, one lower body, and one day combined. Thanks!

Back in my happy place today with another step workout! This one was great.

I have to admit, today was a struggle for me. I was constantly watching the clock - probably a sign that I need to work on learning to slow down and listen to my body in the moment. I also snuck in a short step workout.

At first glance, today seemed a bit overwhelming with the three lower body workouts, but the time flew by and they were all a nice compliment with one another. Thanks!

Lisa - I remember Charlene Pickett’s It Figures! I used to do her step ones all the time. She is the one who first got me interested in step. I remember the episode where one of her background friends was stepping on a homemade wooden platform. I showed my dad and asked if he could make me one. Instead, he bought me a real step, which I still use to this day!

I took my first step class 28 years ago and have been stepping consistently ever since. I always thought I would eventually move on to other forms of exercise, but I have never tried anything else I love nearly as much. I dabble in other activities such as running and swimming, but step seems to suit both my body and mind perfectly. I too love it even more than when I started. I am SO very grateful that you continue to create high-quality step workouts on a regular basis - you’re one of the very few who does. I hope to be stepping for another 28 (or more) years. Thank you!

I am most definitely not a yoga person so this one was a huge change of pace for me. I made it through and thought it was a good workout - your explanations made so much sense. Thanks again!

I did today’s workouts immediately after my run, so I skipped the warmup, but did all three weight workouts and the cool-down and stretch. I thought the three upper body workouts complemented each other nicely. Thanks!
