As far as a good thigh workout, the classes I went to two years ago were not as good for your thighs as they are now. Step is a fairly new aerobics form and new step movements are being thought of continuously. My aerobics classes now all have a section where they do squats and other exercises that target the thighs and buttocks (and they are killers!). I personally like Step aerobics because it keeps me interested. For some reason, those other types of aerobics classes bore me silly. In addition, I need low impact aerobics for my knees and ankles and I found it much easier to adapt step for low impact than it was for regular aerobics. With regular aerobics, I ended up with a less intense workout when I tried to convert to low impact (unless I specifically attended a low impact aerobics class). Karen | |||||

Karen,
Thanks for the info. I have recently noticed that there are boxercise
classes being held in my local area and I have always fancied tring
them. I didn't enjoy all the movements in step such as toggle, toggle
step, jump....
I am looking forward to the boxercise classes which I think include
body conditioning exercises. I will let you know how they go!!

I have seen boxercise advertised on television and in magazines. It looks like a form of womens boxing without the fighting. It purley for fun and fitness. I haven't had chance to get to the classes yet due to a couple of meetings at work that have sullen on the same day but I will be testing it out on Wednesday and will give you my verdict!!
