Mini step question

[lesliemarie]

My homeowners is sending me a check for the computer that got fried in a lightening storm!! so I can get me a mini step LOL. just was wondering on the risers. I am 5'6" and wondering how many risers I need, I was planing on using the risers already with my step. do I need to order an extra riser?

I've read here on other threads that you should put the step at a height which allows your leg to be at a 90 degree angle right before you step up on the step (like you were about to do a leg press). I have five risers under mine, making the total height 14 inches, and that works for me. I'm 5'2". Everyone's legs are different lengths though, and being taller doesn't necessarily mean your legs are proportionately longer, so I think you may have to experiment and find the right height for you.
