What to Use in Place of Mini Step

[Ellis]

Just got my new PUB/PLB DVD yesterday After reviewing it I noticed a lot of the leg work uses the Mini Step. Just looking for some suggestions as to what some of you use in place of the Mini Step.

I am using a 17" tall step, similar to the old Firm step. My husband made me the wooden one for under $10 and it works fine.

www.FitPrime.com is still selling a wooden 14" box for about $35 but I'd suggest, have your husband look at the picture and see if he could build one.

Rubbermaid is selling a 13" tool box which a lot of people use. Anything stable would work though, even a coffeetable.

I use the end of a workout bench with those metal supports on one end for a barbell. It is a very cheap thing from Sears 25 years ago. It is 17" tall. If I didn't have it, I would long ago have bought or built a substitute. I might try a chair, just stepping up and down on a kitchen chair might work.

I've been using my step bench raised to 10" , I also have the old wooden Firm Fanny Lifter at 14 " which I think I'll be using next as I am now feeling capable of doing them on that height

I have extra risers for my long step and use it for everything that requires tall climbing or bench type work. It is at 12". I am thinking about ordering a couple of more risers to take it to 14". It really makes that step a versatile piece of equipment.

Wow ... thanks to all of you for your suggestions Everyone on this site is so helpful! I have learned a lot from you all. I never realized you could purchase risers separately for your step ... that is an option I may consider looking into but until then sounds like I probably have things around the house now that I could use in the meantime. Thanks again to you all!
