workout with out using step

[Skinny]

Hi, has anyone done Cathe's step workouts without the step? My knees are bad and can't take the impact. I've never seen anyone doing it without step in the previews of the tapes. Thanks

I have! I noticed that with jumping and landing, the impact was pretty much the same on the floor. In fact, wasn't the step invented to lessen the impact and its effects on the joints?

Doing a Cathe step tape without the step was an easy way to learn the choreography. I have read on this forum where others regularly do Cathe step tapes just on the floor.

Thanks for the info.

I do them regularly without a step because of knee problems (my floor is carpeted and so impact isn't too bad). when I use a step, it's usually just the top - no risers.
something good about going 'no-step' is that you have more room to do the moves - no worries about flying off the step!
