Just got Step Blast in today. I have Rhythmic Step and do it on an 8" step. The only other Cathe that I dare do on 8" is Low Max. So, my question is, since it's my first time which one does the educated crowd suggest? TIA
6" or 8" for Step Blast?

RE: 6
I use an 8" step, but then again, I use an 8" step for most workouts. I'm tall though, so it's not such a long way up for me
I would suggest starting out with a 6" and moving up once you feel comfortable.

RE: 6
I am short and not proficient on a 6" step yet so I learned SB on just the platform (4") and don't think I have even attempted it on a 6" step yet and I get an awesome work out from it! I have done some work outs or parts of work outs on a 6" step but I find it can be a lot more work for very little pay back. I compared the cal burn and only saw a difference of about 50 cals for whatever work out it was that I had done both ways. That was disappointing and keeps me from feeling any serious need to bump up to 6" permanently. I just use 6" for a change of pace/challenge. I will admit that it DOES make me feel good to know I can do it atleast. I don't think I'll never use 8" though...

RE: 6
Thanks guys! I actually gave it some thought and decided to do it on 6" the first time. I watched the workout before I did it and with all the turns, etc. I thought it would be safer. I am 5'2", so my ability to trip over the step tends to be a lot greater.
That being said...I LOVED IT and am soooo glad I ordered it. Next time I will be doing it on 8".
Thanks to everyone who relpied. Interesting...my poll ended in a tie :7
