What step do I need?

[CollinsMom]

Some of you may recall my mentioning in earlier posts that I am brand new to Cathe and stepping. I bought the set at Target with my step, dvds, etc.

The step I have now is the one she uses in Body Fusion and Low Impact Step -- it is small, about 11" by 25" I think.

I am ready to invest in some new Cathe workouts, but I am wondering if I need a different [full sized] step. I like the one I have now just fine, and I am short [5 feet] so it works well for me.

At what point should I be looking into buying a new, full sized step?

Here is a link to the "Original Step" which is the step Cathe uses in MOST of her workouts. The smaller step that you own now is fine with the more basic/beginner workouts. Once you get more accustomed and want to increase your movements on the board, you might want to invest in some of the intermediate or advanced workouts which will probably feel more comfortable on a bigger board. When you click on the link, it will show you the step in two colors...scroll down to see the same step with a grey topper.

Also...

You can use just the platform/topper without any risers if you feel 4" is high enough since you are short. The step comes with 4 risers (2 for each side) making it a total of 8" high. It is 6" high if you use one set of risers.

You also might check out the club step Cathe sells here on the website. She has different packages with other videos that's a pretty great deal.

I used the small step your talking about for about a year,until I started with Cathe and realized that maybe It was time to get the bigger one! I'm short too(five foot two inches)so it was a challenge at first to get to the 'other' side of the step,but now its alot more fun!(not to metion,the sucker is like twice as big as the smaller step)I order it right here on Cathe's site,her price is just as good(if not a little cheaper)then most the other sites I explored!

Happy Stepping:7 !
