1. An adjustable stepping structure for aerobic exercise, comprising:
- a substantially rectangular platform having a top surface for stepping, sidewalls and endwalls; and
at least one support element having an upper portion and a base;
wherein the platform can be supported in a horizontal orientation relative to a floor surface by placing the platform on top of the at least one support element, with the upper portion of the support element formed to nest within a lower portion of the platform;
wherein the platform can be supported in a first angled orientation relative to the floor surface by placing a first endwall of the platform on the floor surface and a second endwall of the platform into a notch formed into the upper portion of the support element; and
wherein the platform can be supported in a second angled orientation relative to the floor surface by placing a first sidewall of the platform on the floor surface and a second sidewall of the platform into said notch.

15. An adjustable stepping structure for aerobic exercise, comprising:
-
a substantially rectangular platform section comprising; a substantially planar top surface; two opposing sidewalls extending downward from said top surface, each of said sidewalls having a lower rounded side edge, said sidewall having a lateral sidewall length; and two opposing endwalls extending downward from said top surface, each of said endwalls having a lower rounded end edge, each of said endwalls having a lateral endwall length; a plurality of support elements for elevating and supporting said platform section relative to a floor surface, each one of said support elements comprising; an upper section sized to be received within said sidewalls and said endwalls of said platform section when the platform is placed in a horizontal arrangement; and at least one downward arcuately curved notch defined within said upper section; wherein said platform section can be supported in a first angled orientation relative to the floor surface by placing a first end edge on the floor surface and a second end edge in said notch; and wherein said platform section can be supported in a second angled orientation relative to the floor surface by placing a first side edge on the floor surface and a second side edge in said notch. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
