sore knees after stepping

[DanielleS]

Hi Cathe,
I did Step Max last week for the first time and loved it, but my knees are still hurting almost a week later. I usually only do step 1xweek. My other cardio is hi/lo and I've been using MIS for my strength training. I didn't have this problem after Mega Step Blast or the step portion of The Wedding tape. Mostly my right knee is sore on the inside of my leg. Was Step Max just too intense for me? Can you recommend any exercises I could do to strengthen the muscles that support my knees. I don't want to give up stepping, your videos are just too much fun. Thanks in advance for your advice.
Danielle

Hi!

I can't help with the knee problem, but I did want to recommend that you look into Step Heat and Body Max.

I only step once a week (run/spin/kickboxing etc. rest of week), but I, too, find I have to be particular about the step tapes I do -- or my fussy knees complain!

So far the Wedding tape, Body Max, and Step Heat have been problem-free for me. PowerMax, Step Max, and MIC were great fun but caused me to have aching knees, so I reluctantly had to let them go ........ I'm going to look into Mega Step Blast yet, since it works for you, Danielle!

Thanks Michelle

I have Step Heat, but haven't tried it yet. I'm also going to have to look into getting Body Max. I really like Mega Step Blast, it' similar to Step Max the way it's set up in 3 parts, I think you'll like it too!
