High impact step aerobics workout - 8 minutes

This high impact workout provides an excellent quick exercise routine. You need to warm up first as it is high impact, so warm up gently for a few minutes before starting. It involves lots of jacks, cross country skis, double step touches, power low squats, and "scoop it forwards", plus knee runs and speed skates. After 8 minutes of this your heart will be thumping and your blood flowing. Remember, the goal of high impact aerobics is to really work the cardiovascular system, to condition the body - and this means that you will be sweating, panting and aching afterwards. No pain, no gain!
