Hi everyone,
Do you consider step to be a weight bearing exercise?
Would you or do you do step on consecutive days - or is it better to alternate?
I know that it is best to work muscle groups every other day...but given that step also helps build up the calves and thighs... I was wondering if it was ok to do it every day - or if a different cardio workout would be better.
Currently - I do the Body Fusion - (or KV's circuit training dvd) on Tuesday - Wed I will do either the Basic Step - or Kathy Smith's Step workout (without weight segment) plus my pilates class...then Thurs I will do a circuit again... Sat morning I just pick one out of the bunch...usually a step workout - and Sunday - pilates only.
Step is my cardio of choice...but if I could get better results by alternating with another cardio workout - I will give it a whirl!
Thanks in advance.
