People that weigh 300 plus pounds have a hard time when trying to use a step stool for exercises. The step stool must be rated at 500 pounds for the bariatric exercises. There are step stools that are called bariatric step stools such as wooden steps, but if you look at the step stool you will NOT find a load rating on them. Does it make sense to go to your physical therapy class to exercise only to get hurt from a step stool that couldn’t hold your weight while working out?
