    Versus choreography for Fitpros

    Simple Step Tabata v Strength

    Summary of Exercises

    • Begins with an introduction to versus-style workouts, combining cardio and strength intervals for variety and balance.

    • Suggests a Step vs Strength Tabata format — alternating 20 seconds of step cardio with 20 seconds of weighted strength work.

    • Uses Pure Energy Music Tabata track (144 bpm) to maintain rhythm and pacing.

    • Recommends a low step for safety and accessibility, especially for mixed-ability participants.

    • Workout sequence example:

      • Eight upper-body exercises

      • Eight lower-body exercises

      • Repeat upper and lower rounds for a balanced full-body session.

    • Demonstrates cardio phase: power basics on the step for 20 seconds to raise heart rate.

    • Strength phase: shoulder presses using dumbbells (5 kg or heavier depending on ability).

    • Next cardio variation: eight jogs on the floor followed by two basic steps, repeated for intensity.

    • Follows with single-arm shoulder presses (seated or standing) to challenge stability and control.

    • Alternates between double knees and basics for the next cardio round.

    • Strength alternation: single-arm shoulder presses on the opposite side.

    • Adds three repeaters (step cardio move) with alternating leg changes for power output.

    • Finishes strength round with lateral raises, targeting shoulders and upper back.

    • Suggests progression: rotate between step cardio and upper/lower body strength blocks for 30-minute sessions (approx. 36 exercises total).

    • Suitable for group exercise classes, online training, and adaptable to multiple fitness levels.

    • Ends with class promotion and invitation to masterclasses and community events.
