Jess runs for bacon
Currently looking for some alternate workouts during the week since I will have less time. I'm looking at buying a step platform to do steps at home. Do you think this is worthwhile?
Labrat
Absolutely.
Its good cardio, and leg strengthening.
I'll be doing some myself this winter.

That sounds like a great way to cross train
Lilac, I did that for years, when my son was a baby, then a pre-schooler, and I couldn't leave him alone at home. I would use a child size plastic chair to do my steps while watching TV. I must have broken 3 chairs like that. I'm lucky I didn't break my neck also... Anyway, doing steps is a great way to exercise, and it's cheap and uncomplicated.

Cool. I love steps but they are hard to come by here. Just yesterday I walked up from the PATH station steps, which is about 10 floors, nice and easy, but I still felt like I was having a heart attack when I was done. And I have to go up three flights to get up to my room. That is not acceptable
