Help! Another Quick Question on Cardio Step for STS Strength Series

[ilovefitness]

Previously, I posted a question on Cathe's Cardio Step. It really sounds like a great product for me to branch out into Step cardio workouts.

I also have STS Strength. Really excited to start on the program soon.

We have a regular weight bench that cannot be adjusted to the incline position. In STS, I notice that Cathe uses slanted risers on the Step. But in some of Cathe's earlier workout dvd's, there're no slanted risers used for chest workouts. It seems that the Step does not wobble too much and holds her weight. Since I just plunked dowan a bunch of $$$, I am gonna have to wait to get those slanted risers later.

My questions are:

1. Could I make do without the slanted risers for some of the STS exercises?
2. Has anyone had done the STS Strength series without the slanted risers? Does the Step hold the weight without wobbling too much?
3. Do I need additional regular risers down the road also?

Sorry for so many newbie questions. Thanks a bunch!

You absolutely do not need the slanted risers right away. They are really nice to have down the road, but you're fine for now.

Thanks a lot for your fast reponse. Really appreciate it. I am sure my husband does, too.
