Anybody use a 10-inch step?

[SRP]

Hi all -
Just wondering what the average height is out there. I used to use an 8-inch but decided to try a 10 a while back, before I "met" Cathe. 8 is probably a more natural height for me, but man, that 10 is intense!

Yikes! I just had this really bad image of myself trying to do Step Blast w/10 inches. I'm only 5'3" & I'm pretty sure I'd land on my a$$ w/in the first 5 minutes.

I'm 5'2" and I tried the 10-inch before I "met" Cathe because my other step videos weren't "intense" enough after working up. I'm happier on 8" with Cathe, however. I've been tempted to try 10" on some of her less intense workouts, but I think 10" would be way too much on my joints with the power moves. The funny thing is I'm much more comfortable on 8" than 6", especially for lunges off the board, because on 6" I don't have as far to go down and I end up jamming my knees.
