How to do the aerobics

1
Wear cushioned shoes, find a clear space and stand tall with feet hip-width apart. Warm up with 5 minutes of marching and arm circles.
2
Follow the routine of step touches, marches, knee lifts, grapevines and arm moves in time to the music. Keep your core braced and move through a comfortable range with each step.
3
Land softly on the balls of your feet, rolling down to the heel.

Form tip: Keep your chest lifted and avoid locking your knees on every landing. Choose the low-impact option of each move if your joints feel sore.
