Drill Max with Tall Step?

[rebeccahines]

I do not own an "original" step. However, do own a High Step and I love High Step Challenge, High Step Training and Boot Camp. I've read on this site that Cathe's new Drill Max workout is excellent and I'd love to try it. Can I do Drill Max using High Step (with only a few risers, of course), or do I need to invest in a regular step??

Rebecca, I think some of the drills using the step might be a little dicey on a high step with its smaller platform, especially when you're doing two-footed jumps forward onto the step, and sideways on and off the step (as in cardio blasts 2 and 6). Also, blast #4 is a traditional step sequence, and in all honesty I think you'd be paying more attention to not breaking your neck than working.

Sorry - I always like to be able to say a less expensive option will work, but IMHO you would benefit from a traditional step for DM.
