The Step360™ step aerobics platform is unlike any step platform you have ever used! The air chambers absorb impact & create an unstable platform that recruits your core & works your balance. Cut the impact, increase the fun, and rev up your calorie burn with Step360! Keep reading for detailed reviews of all the Step360 workouts on the blog!


Step360 Fast Interval Training:
Jessie Pavelka, 2011

This dvd contains six 10-20 minute workouts. You will need your Step360 & the included band for these workouts. Jesse instructs in a gym set with 3 backgrounders showing modifications. The dvd is not programmable. Each workout contains a short warmup, cooldown & stretch.

Exercises include: knee ups, shuffle up & around, sitting on the 360 -kicking your legs out & shuffling back, jacks, round house kick on the 360, lunges to the 360 and hooks, burpee climbers off the 360. Each exercise starts low & progresses in intensity.

Turn Up the Burn: (22 min) This workout features 60 seconds of work followed by 30 seconds of jumprope recovery. You will perform one exercise once per side & then combo them. Exercises include: step kicks & jacks, step ups or double jumps up & down, step leap touching the 360 & skater touch downs, chugging around the 360 and plyo jumps.

Love Your Belly, Butt & Thighs: (22 min) This workout features body weight strength work and 60 second cardio intervals. Exercises include: balance squat taps, balance stick & diagonal reach, side step or leap ups, tuck jumps & 360 touch jumps, V sits seated on the 360, plank knee pulls & plank jacks, V sit knee pulls, low back extensions on the 360, dips & curtsy dips off the 360, and bridge & single leg bridge off the 360.

Body Sculpt Blaster: (11 min) This workout features 60 second tubing strength quickies with no recovery time!

Exercises include: overhead press & crunches, deadlift & row, step downs, seated elbow to knee twists, balance squat & rows, cardio lunges off the step, elevator planks, soccer drill to the 360, and triceps dips adding a kick.

I rate these intermediate workouts. The exercises start lower intensity & progress so you can easily adapt to your fitness level by keeping it low or starting the exercises high. You can also adjust the intensity by using a lighter or heavier weight band. Jesse is motivating and provides encouragement, form pointers & cuing. All the workouts feature cardio quickies to get the heartrate up. I love the lack of impact using the Step360 and have already incorporated it into other workouts. The workouts are fun & the Step360 adds a lot of balance and core work into your routine. Choose one workout or do them all! Love that the workouts are on one convenient disc. I received this dvd to review.

Step360 RAVE & REVIEW!!!!!


The Step360™ step aerobics platform is a fun & unique way to burn calories and lose weight at home. This is unlike any step platform you have ever used! The air chambers absorb impact & create an unstable platform that recruits your core & works your balance. Keep your workout routine fun & keep your body guessing by working your muscles in a fun new way. The top platform is actually set on two adjustable air chambers designed to create instability. As you use the equipment your body is forced to utilize both large and small muscle groups to find balance. No other step aerobics workout offers this type of total body muscle engagement. More calories are burned and weight loss becomes easier, all while having fun. Realize a more effective total body workout in less time than a traditional step aerobics platform with the Step360.


The Step360 Kit Contains: 
  • The Step360 Step Platform
  • Six Workouts on One DVD in a Sturdy Plastic DVD Case (10 -20 min each)
  • 2 Bonus Workouts on One DVD in as Sturdy Plastic DVD Case (10 min each)
  • Sculpting Cord that secures into the Step360
  • Step360 Weight Loss Success Guide that includes meal & snack options, menus, a 30 day rotation calendar, tips & more!
  • 7 Day Express Guide that will get you on track fast!
  • 7 Day Supply of MaxBalance Vitamins
  • 30 Days Free Access to the Step360 Web Club

What I love most about the Step360 system is the lack of impact! I havent been able to do step aerobics in years due to my knee issues and recent surgery but because of the air chambers on the Step360 the impact of jumping, stepping, and hopping on it is really minimized! My knee loved it. The Step360 is very sturdy and I put it to the test by doing plenty of jumping & hopping on it. The air chambers also create a balance challenge that really engages your core where a normal step does not (at all!). I could feel my core working with every step. Also great for adding a balance challenge to my workouts. Balance is a weak point of mine so I am very happy that it is definitely being tested!


The sculpting cord actually secures into the Step360 for your strength work - so you can work your balance and get your strength training in. It really provides an additional challenge to band work and provides a unique way to work your muscles and keeps your exercise routine fresh & fun! I am even more excited about this system now that I have done all of the workouts. This system is a winner! Stay tuned for detailed reviews on the blog. Click on my top header "Step360" to see all of my upcoming Step360 posts.

Jesse Pavelka leads these workouts and you will recognize Madison, Terri Ann & Cat as background exercisers. They offer various modifications for the workouts so these are very diverse and can fit the needs of most exercisers. Check back on the blog for detailed reviews of all of the Step360 workouts!
