There are some classes with toning segments as well as a series of cardio classes (the ‘Burn’ routines) that don’t use a step at all, but if you’re not planning on investing in a step platform then Xtreme Hip Hop isn’t for you. The combinations aren’t that complicated but the pace is super fast and that’s where you’ll get messed up. But it’s loud.īe prepared to move faster than you’ve ever moved before. It’s a vital part of the experience so, I get it. The music isn’t just background noise in these routines. (Clubs might be different now but it reminded me of a club experience from my 20’s.) It feels like you’re in a club and he’s a DJ. The instructor (usually Phil) yells out the steps to do over the music. I was a little shocked at how loud the music is in the classes. Xtreme Hip Hop routines are dance cardio classes using an aerobic step set to hip hop music. So, let’s get to it! What is Xtreme Hip Hop? (Oh, and, should you sign up if you can’t dance?)

I think I’ve put off doing this review because I’m a little intimidated by the clips of these classes that I see floating around social media.īUT, as I said, I LOVE my aerobic step so I set out to test this program and find out who it’s for, how hard it is, what kind of stepper you need to do the workouts and what you get if you subscribe to a membership to the library of routines.

I’ve had the Xtreme Hip Hop program on my list to try for a while now. I LOVE doing workouts that use an aerobic workout step.
