Hi Mustachians! I used to do step aerobics as a teen and want to get back into it. The problem - trying to acquire a step without paying an arm and a leg. They seem to cost at least $70 new, and I couldn't find anything local on craigslist. Any ideas for alternatives that would suffice? I'm not concerned about being able to adjust the height for now.
The requirements:
1. About 3 inches high, but I'm flexible
2. Stable - won't slip around and can support normal human adult weight
3. Won't damage my carpet
I seem to remember using some sort of upside down wooden crate as a teenager, but have no idea where to find something like that now. My boyfriend suggested a phone book, but it felt too unstable last time I tried.
Ideas?
