I'm currently using no risers, just the bench. Use 1 riser when I'm in better shape.
I love pretty much all Cathe step but especially:
Party Rockin' Step 2
BodyMax2 (step cardio premix)
Step Blast
Imax 2
Imax 3 (when I am in better shape)
Honorable mentions to
Low Impact Circuit (Step cardio premix)
Step, Jump & Pump (Step section)
X10 (Step section)
Cardio&Weights (Step only)
Favorite non-Cathe step is
Step This Way Kristen Kagen
In the process of learning Petra Kolber's
PK Step, which is really good for my current fitness level and not too tricky. Started learning Amy Bento's
ASC3 but never finished. May learn
ASC2 first instead because people seem to list that more often as a favorite. Started learning Seasun Zieger's
Straight Up Step, but I'm a slow learner. Learned most of Franny Benedetto's
Cardio Parties and that's fun. Learned Christi Taylor's
Step Heaven fairly quickly but it's just not a favorite.
Also just ordered Marcus Irwin's
Topless Blocks, still on sale at jumpybumpy. I'm easily enabled.
My first step workouts were Kathy Smith
Power Step and
Great Buns & Thighs.
