Saturday Morning Sweatin' Good Time

Greetings to everyone on turnstep! Recently I've found myself "borrowing" but it has been quite some time since I've contributed. If you recognize any of your material, thanks for your awesome ideas/combos!!!!

These are the combos I used just yesterday morning and we left dripping with sweat. I'll also include examples of cardio bursts we did to REALLY pump that heart rate up.

All combos can assume right lead, are 32 counts, and are self-reversing. NOT ALL combos are tapless!!!

Here we go:

• 1 Basic, 1 pivot turn (8)
• 1 V-step, 1 knee (8)
• 1 L-step (8)
• 2 Quick knees (double knee), 1 jack on the floor (6+2)

Repeat left side. You may have to cue to step left the first few times after finishing the jack

• 1 Z-step (up,up, two ham curls, down, down two ham curls on the floor) (8)
• 2 Grapevines on the floor (8)
• 2 Side legs to corners (8)
• 1 Double knee, hitch around (two knees around the corner of your step, and a "pop" over the top) (8)

Repeat on the left side

• 1 K-step moving forward (4)
• 1 Over the top (4) *could make this a cross-leg over for tapless*
• 1 Hop turn (4)
• 2 Jacks on the floor (4)
• 1 Indecision lunge (up, up, two lunges off n and s side of box, exit N side of box) (8)
• 1 U-turn (turn, straddle, turn, exit S side of box) (8)

Repeat on the left side

CARDIO INTERVAL: TURNSTEPS WITH A POWER LUNGE ON THE END.
Each turnstep is still 4 counts, particpants simply push the back foot further back and add a propulsion to increase heartrate. "Normal" turnsteps would be resting/recovery for this interval.

• 2 Turnsteps (8)
• 1 V-step onto the box (4)
• 1 V-step on the floor away from the box (4)
• 1 Basic on (4)
• 1 Basic off the front (4)
• 4 Jacks (jacks turn around to face the back of the room) (8)

Repeat from the N side of the step, facing the back of the room with a left lead. You will have to cue which foot to step with for the turnstep until the class goes through it a few times

After the class has a good grip in this combo, I call the two V-steps an X-step

CARDIO INTERVAL: JACKS
Jacks can be high, or low. They can be cross-leg in front for inner thighs, or wide/low step touch with jack arms (only to should heighth) for deltiods. I usually use the step touch for the recovery position.

• 1 Split basic (8)
• 1 Grapevine (4)
• Walk ALL THE WAY around the box (8)
• 1 Mambo on the box (4)
• 2 Up knee behind OR knees to corners ++ (8)

Repeat on the left side

• 1 Turnstep (4)
• 2 Grapevines on the floor, facing the back wall (8)
• 1 Turnstep (4)
• 1 Travel repeater (repeater around the edge of the box, exit N side) (8)
• 1 Knee, straddle, knee up to exit (8)

Repeat on the left side

It really helps my class to cue which direction to face, and which foot to step with for the turnstep after the grapevines

CARDIO INTERVAL: FLIES ACROSS THE BOX
Be sure to show all 3 levels for this interval as particpants need somewhere to go if they get tired quickly.

• 1 L-step (8)
• 1 Split basic (8)
• 1 L-step (8)
• 1 Double chug/stomp, 1 glute squeeze (don't take foot on the off inbetween the chugs OR the glute squeeze) (8)

Repeat on the left side

For a more advanced class, you can turn the first L-step so that you do the split basic facing the back wall. You simply turn the second L-step to come back to the beginning position on the step for the chug&squeeze

• 1/2 L-step (4)
• 2 Mambos on the floor (W side of box) (8)
• 1 Squat (4)
• 2 Flies long across the box (8)
• 1 Squat W side of box (4)
• 1/2 L-step back to S side of box (beginning position) (4)

Repeat on left side

That's it! (That's enough!!!) Please don't hesitate to email me with questions or suggestions/ideas! It's always nice to hear from other instructors!
