Summary: The term aerobic means "with air" in biological sciences, but it was first used to talk about exercise by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, of the San Antonio Air Force Hospital. He designated “aerobics” as the name for a system of moderate-intensity, long-duration exercise he employed to prevent coronary artery disease. It is appropriate nomenclature given that the exercises are designed to condition the lungs to more effectively use oxygen and to strengthen the cardiovascular system. Cooper’s 1968 book, Aerobics, was popular even before the 1980s fad of exercising to music began. For those who choose to use it, aerobics is an important part of fighting heart disease and obesity.

In this free video series, expert aerobics instructor Alice Monsaert leads you through the basic moves, combinations, and routines of step aerobics. You will learn the T Step, L Step, Grapevine, Elvis, Karaoke, Hop Turn, and more! Alice will show you dance-infused moves like the Mambo, Mambo Cha Cha, and Shuffle Box Step.
