Step Shopping

I know that several of you have been shopping for steps, so I thought I would do a little research on the internet to see what I could find. Here's what I have so far:

Susan G. Komen STEP
This one is built like Rachel's, but pink instead of blue. $39.99

Same STEP as above, but on Amazon
This one costs a little more, but is eligible for free shipping. $44.95

A Good Buy?
This step is DuraGym brand, which I am not familiar with. However, the price is right, and the step looks stable and skid-proof on top. Even when adjusted to the "intermediate" level, it doesn't look as high as the medium boxes, so this step would be best for someone who uses the smaller box. 24.99 and eligible for free shipping at Amazon.

I found a couple of other steps that I would NOT recommend. The first is "The Firm" step workout system. The boxes that come with the tapes are not really made for step aerobics like we do them. The other is on a variety of websites including Overstock. The reviews of this step say that it is narrow and not totally stable. This one makes me nervous.

My other suggestion is to check places like Goodwill and St. Vincent de Paul on a regular basis. I bought my step at Goodwill (still in the box) for $8. (It retails online for $125.) At that price, they don't last long, so check often. Finally, yard sales are graveyards for loney steps. All 3 of my extra steps were yard-sale finds for $1 each.
