equipment questions

[LuckeeLaydee]

I don't have any dvd's yet that require a high step. I am assuming I can use the risers from my regular step and I just need to buy the top. My question is, I only have four risers, do I need more?
Thanks,


Paula

Hi Paula. Yes, you can use the risers from your regular step. However, the answer to your question about do you need more risers is kind of up to you. For example, I am 5'8" and just using 4 risers doesn't really do much for me on the leg press exercises that Cathe does in a lot of her circuit and strength DVDs. So, I opted for buying the topper plus 4 risers online from Target for $49.99. As a bonus it also came with the High Step Circuit. Hope this helps a little.

Also, if you opt for purchasing the high step from Target online here are some coupons to save some $$

4 risers will make your high step 12" high, which is a good start for leg presses (not good for sitting! But that takes 16-18"). You can certainly workout with the risers you have for now, at least, and if you ever feel you want to go up to 14", you can get more risers.

Thanks ladies.
I am about 5' 3" so I can probably get away with the 4 to start. I want to order the package with "leaner legs" next and I believe it requires the high step.
