Step Bench alternative?

[Maria777]

Hi, Cathe! I was watching your Pyramid Upper Body workout, but I don't have a step bench.

What else could I use? I have a regular step but not with risers...

Any ideas?

Hi, Maria -

I'm obviously not Cathe, but I bought extra risers for my club step on eBay to let me create a bench like the one in PUB. There are usually gym surplus risers listed for a very reasonable price, and with 4 risers on each side your standard step should work great.

Hope that helps -

Thank you!

I use my stability ball instead of the step bench. It took a little getting used to but now it seems to work fine!

Not Cathe here, hope I can help anyway.

A stepping stool worked for me until I could get a step bench.

I have in my mind, Jasper, you balancing on this big ball and stepping with Cathe. How do you do it? HA:7 I would love a picture of this! You made my night. Thank you.

The idea is to die young as late as possible.

Janie -

Glad I made your night! But sorry to say, I can't step on the ball no matter how hard I try! But the ball does work for upper weights - at least for me. I don't have a solution for PLB yet....

Happy exercising - jasper
