Abstract

A step device for performing an exercise may comprise a stepping surface having at least one elevation, a system configured to sense input from and provide output to a user, and at least one handle attached thereto that is configured to move the step device. The exercise is performed by stepping onto and off of the stepping surface or moving the step device using the at least one handle. The at least one handle may be detachable and configured to emit a sound when it mechanically attaches to the step device. The step device may also comprise a cavity configured to receive a weight or sound emitting mechanism. The step device may form part of an interactive system for displaying a series of movements that follow an exercise pattern so that a synchronized pattern is displayed to a user defined by the series of movements that follow an exercise pattern.
