You and the Step are one. You have a massive following of individuals who cut their collective aerobic teeth in your classes. Which of the following songs would MOST likely be played in your wildly popular advanced step aerobics class? A song with a tempo of:
  1. 122-129 bpm
  2. 100-122 bpm
  3. 130-160 bpm
  4. >160 bpm
Explanation
Answer: A - Music that best matches the pacing of an advanced step aerobics will have a tempo of 122-129 beats per minute, while a beginner’s step class will run between 100-122 bpm. This faster step pace is quite similar to the tempo found in low impact aerobics classes, but it is slower than that found in a traditional aerobics class (130-160 bpm). Both aquatic exercise and cycling have a considerable range in their tempo because both styles require variation in speed options. Step aerobics, in contrast, offers an intentionally consistent beat which cannot vary much from a given pace.
