What are the main functions of step aerobics?

Everyone, the editor would like to ask if you know step aerobics? Some may know and some may not, but as long as you say aerobics, everyone knows it. This is a kind of exercise that is performed with music. In fact, it is similar to aerobics. Step aerobics is aerobics with steps placed on special pedals. So these are the characteristics of aerobics. Who knows the function of step aerobics? When you were studying, didn’t you feel that it was not easy to do exercises? You didn’t know what the function was. The simplest thing was that you thought it was just exercising. The following is the content the editor found about this.

"Step aerobics" combines the step exercises in physical fitness tests with the movements and steps of aerobics and is performed on a special step. Therefore, it has all the characteristics of aerobics. In addition, its height can be adjusted, so fitness enthusiasts can easily maintain the effective intensity of exercise for weight loss according to their own situation and improve their coordination more effectively.

Another reason: "Step aerobics" is safer. Since "pedal aerobics" mainly involves moving up and down on the pedals continuously, with relatively few jumping movements, the lower limb joints naturally have obvious flexion and extension and cushioning, which can greatly reduce the impact on the joints and avoid sports injuries caused by long-term jumping to the greatest extent. Since it is necessary to overcome the effect of gravity, aerobic exercises consume more energy than doing them on flat ground to complete the same movements. At the same time, a reasonable increase in exercise load will also be beneficial to improving cardiopulmonary function. In completing all the up and down pedal movements, the main muscles that exert force are the thigh and buttocks muscles, and the resistance they have to overcome is gravity, which is much smaller than the maximum force.

Therefore, pedal exercise is a long-term, low-weight resistance muscle exercise that can consume excess fat in the legs and buttocks, highlight muscle lines without increasing muscle circumference, and is a great help in shaping toned legs and buttocks. Step exercise is suitable for everyone, especially women who sit in the office for a long time and lack leg exercise, as well as people who want their legs to become strong and healthy and change their sagging buttocks.

From the above content, we can know that step aerobics is very suitable for weight loss, white-collar workers, and people who work in offices for a long time. Many people sometimes find it very difficult to stick to exercise, and sometimes improper exercise may not be effective, and may even have a counterproductive effect. However, step aerobics is different. You only need to move up and down on the pedals to adjust yourself, and doing it for a long time will have obvious results.
