Non Stop Step

Marcos Prolo

Categories: Step Aerobics


I am an intermediate to advanced cardio exerciser, depending on how much effort I want to put into the workout that day. My favorite step workouts are by instructors like Christi Taylor, Andre Houle, and Kari Anderson.

This is a step tape by Marcos Prolo, a Sara City production. The set is very basic, a workout studio, and he leads the workout with two background exercisers. I recognized the music from somewhere – maybe one of the CIA workouts I’ve done? It’s your standard workout music mix.

Marcos breaks down complex choreography really well and before you know it, you are doing more complex steps than you may have thought you could. His goal in this workout is to do all the steps without taps and he includes some interesting and fun combinations.

However, in the end, I did not end up keeping this workout, the main reason being the camera work. They kept showing tight camera shots on Marcos’ feet or face or one of the background exercisers when I really needed them to show the wide shot to see what was going on. I am a visual learner and they kept taking away the visual of what he was teaching. If not for that, I would have enthusiastically kept this workout.

Instructor Comments:
He is a fantastic cuer and is very effective at breaking down complex choreography into learnable chunks.
