I am only 5'2", but I didn't feel as challenged on a regular shin-height step, so I use a weight-bench. There is one bench at our gym that is slightly lower than most, so my knee and hip are both at right angles on it. When I have to use a different bench (only about 2" taller) I REALLY feel it!!! I do have to focus, no matter what, on form - keeping my back straight, not pushing off with the back leg... and still being able to see through the sweat running into my eyes!
