Slanted Risers, which Cathe workouts are you using them with?

[JT]

I just received my beautiful slanted risers from Cathe this week along with the Kim Spreen,Rob Glick, and Tamara on the DVD.
Which Cathe workouts are you using them for?

TIA.

I just got the slanted risers myself and plan to use them on Slow & Heavy and/or Gym Styles. There are places in both I think (can't recall exactly which one or where!) where Cathe has you stack the regular risers so that they are "slanted."

I just ordered mine. I should get them Tues. I plan to use them for incline chest work and I think that's pretty much it for now.

I actually have a bench, but it's too tall for me. So I think these will work well!!

Most recently, I used the slanted risers for the chest work in 4DS. They are fabulous and feel so much more secure than using the regular risers.

The STS dvds will be the first workouts on which Cathe uses slanted risers. Which reminds me... I need to get them.

P.S. Just did Slow and Heavy: Chest and Back - and used my new slanted risers for several exercises. In S&H CB they pile up the regular risers at an angle, which is somewhat unstable. I LOVED the slanted risers for doing chest and back - exactly what was needed for the various incline exercises.

I will use these from now on on every incline exercise - and they do show up on various already-existing DVDs.

Can the slanted risers be used with a Ramp workout?

 

[fit_fairy]

Jackie, I don't have any of the ramp w/o, so I can not say for sure, but I bet they would work.

I did the step portion of the dvd that came with the risers last night. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the incline step work. It wasn't very intense, but then again I could kick it up a notch or two and probably make it that way }(

I am interested in getting the slanted risers but they are a little pricey. They come in a set of 2. Do those of you who have them use both of them or just one? I have a friend who may go in on them with me, but I want to be sure first that you don't need 2 of them.

Thanks,
Carolyn

RE: Slanted Risers, which Cathe workouts are you using ...

Carolyn,

If you aren't planning on using the risers to form a ramp-type apparatus for cardio, then I think you would be fine with only one riser. I am currently only using them to make a more stable incline/decline bench, and all I really need is one.

Wish I would have thought of your idea!

HTH.
