Slanted risers available for club step

They are only sold in pairs? I guess you only need it for the top/bottom of the incline/decline, but still....$50? Too rich for my blood LOL! Maybe they will come down in price?

you can buy a transfirmer with DVDs for $50 at Target or Ulta. This is too expensive IMO

They are pricey, aren't they!!!

I often use a stability ball for incline work and never got into the Transfirmer thing...I'll wait...

They are too expensive, but it is a really good idea. While doing Amy B's Slo-Mo, I have found the incline on the step to be more unstable than I would like. And it would work well for a Transfirmer, and would be more versatile - just like the high step is more versatile than the Fanny Lifter.

I agree the TF is a much better deal with the workouts.

Can someone explain to me why you'd want to do a step workout on a slanted surface? I don't get it. As clumsy as I am on a regular step, I'd probably kill myself. I'm sure there must be some benefit, though, that I'm just not imaginative enough to see.

Thanks,
Shari

Expensive but cool!

The moves I've seen done on a ramp or inclined step are not the up-up-down-down of traditional step cardio. Usually it's a series of lunges where you step onto the surface with one foot and keep the other on the floor.

I do like the idea of the slanted risers to use when the step becomes my weights bench. My step never feels quite secure when I put three or four risers at one end and one at the other and balance the platform in between. Having said that, the platform has never shifted at all when I do incline it. Dunno if I'd pay $50 for feeling more secure...

It says that the risers are sold in pairs? So does that mean it's $49.99 for each riser? And since they are sold in pairs, I have to pay $91.98 plus S&H? VERY expensive. I'll just use my money to buy P90X+ which I think is a lot less than that.

I'll pass. I have a TF. Plus, i'd rather just get an extra set or 2 of regular risers (which I've been meaning to do forever and might actually be a good time to do so.)
