Does anyone know if you need a high step for the Pyramid Lower DVD? I have a high bench (I guess that's what you'd call it), just like the one Cathe is shown using in photos from Power Hour and Slow and Heavy. I assume that would work, too, but I want to make sure. Thanks a bunch.
Will my bench work?

Hi. I don't have a high step. I use my Reebok Step and it works out just fine for me. I have only had this DVD a short time though so I may need to breakdown and purchase the mini as I progress. I actually use my step at the highest level any time there are leg presses involved in a workout. I think my knees appreciate it!

when you say at the highest level are you talking about 2 risers on each side? I also have the same issue. I have PLB and haven't used it yet cause I don't have a high step.
Thanks,

Hey Paula,
Don't know if this helps, but I believe Cathe uses the High Step at 14" for PLB. If the step you have is the Super Step Bench System, I do think it is a bit higher by about an inch. I guess you may just have to try it out and see if it is too tall for you...some people do the leg press on a lower step, and some go higher to 16".

Cathe does use a high step for her pyramid lower body. I suppose a bench like the one you have would work. As long as it is 14". That is the average height of the high step. I actually use 1 extra riser with my high step only because I am 5'6" tall. That is about 4" taller than Cathe ... but that is just my personal preferrence. I started out with the basic 14" and had good results with that as well. I hope this information helps you .
