mini step hight

[lesliemarie]

I just came back from my doctor and he told me I cannot have my step any higher then 8 inches when I do the pyramid lower body. so can I put on a knee brace and still get the same results with it being only 8 inches? I am just so bumbed about this :-(

Why can't you do anything higher than an 8" step? I would think that as long as your knee doesn't o beyond a 90 degree angle it woul be ok. But that is just what I've read it doesn't mean that it's true. Is this a knee injury or something? I had my ACL replaced just over a year ago and am looking into a high step. Should I be concerned with the height as well? YIKES!
Thanks!

My ortho doctor told me that my left knee is clicking together, he said when I do squats of step high it is making something happen in my knee cap, I am going to get a knee brace and just be more carefull. He also said to cut back on the step kicks LOL but I LOVE those!! but my back is so much better thanks to Cathe!!! I can finally sleep without back pain!! thank you so much Cathe! you do great work.
