need to buy exercise step

[thinsgreat]

hi everyone,

just looking over sts on you tube--- really need to buy a step--- have been using a ball - (for added abs and balance-)-- but, since focus will be on strength--- better buy a solid step--- any good deals out there or suggestions? thanks.

Hi there.

I am one of those people who "needs" everything or I feel like I'm missing out, but if you want the full get up, here's what I recommend...

The complete package would be to get the full size step (comes with 4 risers), the slanted risers, and either 4 extra risers or the "high step". Now, you don't HAVE to have the high step, but here's why I recommend it, you will probably need some extra risers to make your step higher when using it as a bench, and for step ups during leg work. So...

You could buy just the extra risers at $11 each ($44) or buy the high step for $59 which gives you the 4 risers and the "high step" top. And I just love the high step for leg only work, for some reason I like it better than the full step for most leg work AND the best part is, because you stack the risers individually, you can make it higher than the regular step without buying anymore risers.

shopcathe.com carries the step and extra risers. Walmart also has the step for $5 less, they also carry the high step, but not the slanted risers. I have never seen extra risers anywhere but on shopcathe.com, actually that's how I discovered Cathe in the first place!

I also have an adjustable bench, so I don't have the slanted risers.

I got my original (gray) step and slant risers on Amazon.com just a few weeks ago (I believe they have the additional regular risers but are actually cheaper on Cathe.com I think, less shipping charges)... I did the 30 day Prime membership (will probably cancel as that free 30 days is up just after Christmas but it was well worth the membership... just gotta remember to do it!) and got free shipping and $4 Overnight upgrade on most everything (except the DVD that came from an Amazon vendor not from Amazon themselves)... it was $100 I think for the step and 4 risers and I think $60 for the slanted risers (I bought DVD's too so can't remember exactly). I do still need the 4 extra risers and plan on doing what Dela said and ordering the High STep eventually... for now, I can use the slant risers put together so they form a block on one side of the step and 3 risers on the other, so at least I have an additional risers worth... Not to knock ShopCathe, but the only way I would have done this through her site is if I had a discount coupon (like with the Calendar purchase), that would negate the shipping charges...

gotta be crafty when you start shipping big and heavy stuff! good luck!

I purchased mine through Amazon.

Fitness Wholesale is selling them for $69.95 until 12/5 at:

Or you might be able to check coupons for Dick's Sporting Goods or Sports Authority. I know some websites list all discounts currently available for retailers.

I got The Step and The High Step from Walmart.com...that way I could interchange the risers...Also, if there is one near you they have Site-to-Store and that will save you shipping.
