People with obesity, low back pain, arthritis of the lower extremities, and those who are at risk of falls would have the most difficulty safely participating in a step training class. However, because the step height can be adjusted, step training remains a suitable exercise program for most levels of fitness and experience. (Pregnant women who have not been exercising prior to pregnancy should not initiate a new aggressive exercise program during pregnancy.)
