You could substitute the Wave or a step with risers for the tall box climbs, depending on how high you want to go. I never go higher than 10-12" for leg presses anymore.
Thank you so much for replying, I will give a try as you mentioned! And I am glad I asked, because somehow I was thinking people were placing the Wave over a regular step to mimic this:

Kat999, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you are having a nice day. // How do you use the Wave with regular step combo, for incline for cardio or just weight, or both? Is it stable? How many risers for the reg. step?

Would it work for this?



Sorry for so many questions!
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Had a great day. To use the Wave for Transfirmer and "death box" videos, I just use it only when they put things in the incline set-up, and for normal "low" stepping, I use a small normal aerobic step that only has one set of risers on it. Whenever they do step-ups or seated upper body or anything requiring the tall Transfirmer set-up, I use my Fanny Lifter fully assembled. I don't usually do full tall box climb anymore, though, and will either only use the blue portion of the FL or just use my low aerobic step.

Hope that helps!

ETA: I don't put the Wave on top of anything, I just set it up at a T-angle with the aerobic step. So the aerobic step sits where the blue part of the Transfirmer would be, and the Wave is perpendicular to it but still on the floor (in its "rainbow" position, not its "U" position). So it doesn't 100% mimic the Transfirmer, but it's still giving you one flat surface and one incline surface.

Nice, thanks for replying, I never heard of the Flexies before, but I have seen the Pilates Bar flatkat ordered before, look very similar.

The BOSU. That thing was a huge accident waiting to happen. I was afraid of it. When I sold it, I even lost money because the shipping was so much.

Many moons ago, I bought the Thigh Master. I used it faithfully and it did nothing for me. I gave it to my sister who, surely, threw it away.

I bought that Pilates reformer that was a smaller version of a regular one. I can't remember the name of it. It went up the side of a wall. Anyway, I used it once and never again. I eventually sold that too.

The Da Vinci board is the most expensive POS, I throw it away in the garbage in a 2 months, so bulky, huge, limited use.

The BOSU i got cheap for 35$

The Xiser Commercial Professional Mini Stairmaster, Polished Alloy Stepper XM-C - collecting the dust, that was 500$



That is the fun thread.
