high step / firm fanny lifter ?

That sounds bizarre. Maybe the person I spoke with didn't know what she was talking about?
Either way, I'm not going to pay for shipping! My parents have a golf outing planned for Monterey next week, so they're stopping by the place to get the high step for me!!
I'm REALLY glad the shipping seems so cheap. This just sounds like such a bargain- 5 risers, the topper, and muscle endurance. I love it! I'm glad people are benefiting.

Hi Amy G. I don't want to hyjack this post, but wanted you to know there is problems with All around fitness. I posted in the open forum,under "Am I getting ripped off?" Check it out. The 42$ is for four risers and no Cathe tape.:-( Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.But I wanted you to know.~Carolyn~

Hi Deb,

I, too, have the fanny lifter step from my pre-Cathe days. I used it when I first started working out to Cathe, and I didn't have any problem when I did my leg presses on it, with dumbbell in each hand or over each shoulder. But when I looped the resistance band underneath it (the leg press with band from "Gym Style Legs"), the fanny lifter didn't accommodate it well. Then when I used it for the glute tucks with band, it wobbled alot. (I'm 5'2" and I weigh 110 lbs.)
I also already own the original health club step with 4 risers and I ordered 2 additional risers with the high step topper from Cathe.com and it was all a perfect fit. For me, the high step is more sturdy than the fanny lifter and since each riser is 2 inches, I like that I can control the height much easier than with the fanny lifter's 6,8 or 14 inch increments. And when I stack all risers to get 16 inches in height on the high step, boy, do the leg presses feel tougher! And bedsides that, I like the grey and black colours of the high step versus the purple and blue section of the fanny lifter. (silly, huh?).

Hope this helps!

I use my 14 in. firm box to do the the leg presses and other moves she does on her high step. I will probably use this a little longer until I purchase my high step. I really only need to get one riser and the top. I got the others with the club step.
