People have been going down in my extreme step class like lumber lately! Not the newbies, but the old-timers seem to be missing their steps and falling left and right! They're not usually hurt, well 2 of them have twisted their ankles, just embarrassed. I always say falling in step class is a right of passage. Everyone does it at least once. Am I right? I usually stumble when I'm getting tired and I know to go for a water break. If I keep having near misses, I call it a day. I've never fallen in an extreme step class but I have in an athletic conditioning class where we used steps. I hope no one complains or that the director doesn't see how many people are falling. The gym may make my instructor make the choreography easier. Even when the people fall, they say they don't want the instructor to change the choreography.

I've lost my footing and tumbled a couple of times, and more seriously, last November I was doing those side to side "high" impact lunges, did not place my toe carefully, and went over HARD on my ankle. After all these months I can still feel a twinge when I stretch that area. :(
