    high step - please help!

    Hello, I'm new here. I made the mistake of purchasing the Reebok step about a year ago, before I was introduced to Cathe's step DVD's. I find it a little unsafe when stepping directly off the side, as the base extends out a bit from the top. Now I'm wanting to purchase the high step...
