Body Fusion-step height

[SnowyShasta]

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to Cathe's workouts and just have started with the Basic Step & Body Fusion DVD.

In the Basic Step one, various people are using various step heights, from just the 4" step to 6" to 8", and Cathe even mentions the 8" max during the workout. In the Body Fusion, though, everyone is using one rise for a 6" height. Do you know whether there's any problem with going up to an 8" height on it? I'm guessing 8" would be the most, but since nobody even has that much in the video, should I max out at 6" for this one?

Thanks!
Aimee

If you are fairly new to step I would start out on 4". If you are not new to step but just new to Cathe then maybe try it on 6". You can always go back down to 4" if it seems to much. Have FUN!!

Thanks! Is there any problem with eventually working up to 8" once I've got things down? I was just surprised that none of the other people had the 8" height.

I think you could do 8" with this workout with no problems once you get the routine down. I hardly use 8" for any step routines, mainly for my knees. But try and see if it works for you

Thanks much! I thought it was probably okay to go up to 8, but good to know that someone else has the same opinion. Looking forward to being in that good a shape!
