Reviews and Ratings - Stair Steppers - Aerobic Twisting Stepper By Lala the lounger
I likey!
By Lala the lounger from Arlington, VA on 6/30/2008
Pros:
Great Workout, Physically Challenging
Best Uses:
Getting Into Shape
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I'm REALLY lazy and come up with any excuse not to go to the gym (in my own building!!). Luckily I've had a fast metabolism my whole life...but its starting to slow down and I have to start working out (YUCK). Having this small workout machine is perfect, because I can do a few minutes every day while watching whatever show I would have claimed was going to prevent me from going to the gym.
I can't claim its had an effect yet, since I've only been doing it for a week (okay fine, I've used it twice). But I do feel a burn in places I know i need to feel it!

Just what I needed!

Cons:
Experience Too Short

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Nice and compact, it can fit nearly anywhere, and be used just about anywhere. It has a great range of motion, and I can feel the burn on my inner and outer thighs, glutes, lower abs and obliques! You can do the twist motion or just let your hips rock side to side if you're using your computer at the same time! The only con is that is suggests not to use it longer than 15 mins at a time, but you can do other exercises while the shocks cool. But maybe getting one of those little mini fans could help do that, and give you more time?

Not a lot of bells and whistles as far as options, but has a smooth, quality feeling movement and is a no-hassle supplement to add to my workouts. I love to use it while on the computer and it helps keep my problematic lower back moving. Also, great for those late-night workout urges.

Wasn't sure I would be able to balance well enough to use this stepper, but it's actually relatively easy. Can feel the results very quickly and we know results are what we strive for.

Well the only problem I see with this thing is that as so much exercise equipment, you actually have to use it to reap any benefits. I thought I could just have it in the room and osmotically get in shape by glancing at it apologetically several times a day. Turns out that it didn't actually work like that and that you actually have to get on it and work out. Once I figured that part out, it's given great results. I don't know if it's perfect for someone who exercises regularly, but for someone who doesn't exercise at all, it's awesome. Just do a couple of 3-5 minute sessions a day and you should be able to see something happening in a relatively short while.

It isn't the same as a stepper in the gym - no poles to hold onto. The cords are boring.

Solid unit. You get a great workout in a few minutes. I like to use it several times a day for about 3 minutes each. I suspect a lot of people buy home exercising units and they end up in the garage. This one works if you have the discipline to use it. btw, if you have bad knees and need to strengthen the thigh muscles, this has got to be one of the best exercises & is a ton cheaper than physical therapy at a clinic.

[...] The good thing is that it's small, substantial and quiet. I like the twisting motion and the resistance bands to use the arms. For someone who doesn't like cardio, this is a great item to do for 20 mins at home watching the news.

Like it but it broke
By Budy of Moose from Syracuse, NY on 1/13/2008
Cons:
Broke shortly after 1 yr
Best Uses:
Getting Into Shape
Describe Yourself:
Practical
I like this stepper because I was able to exercise for 15 minutes in the morning (before shower and work), in front of the TV while watching the News. This stepper allowed me to worked an exercise routine into my schedule and didn't require a room (that I don't have) to devote to a monster treadmill or eliptical machine.The only problem is one of the resistance pistons blew out shortly after a year. I don't see on this web site any way to order replacement parts so hopefully the Brookstone store where I bought this will be able to order a new piston. If I can't get a new piston my rating will drop to a big fat "0".

It recommends that you can only use the machine for 15 minutes before it gets too hot, which is kind of a con. But I am usually worn out about that time! This little machine really works! Its easy to use in front of the tv or wherever and then just put away.

Not what I expected
By Mar from Hercules, CA on 10/22/2007
It's fun to work with but it's not exactly what I thought it would do. I thought that I would feel different, but it's better if I just ran & did lunges. I think it would be good for days I don't run outside or wanted less of a workout

I am fairly active and wanted to lose a few extra pounds but needed something I would enjoy and be able to do easily and at home. This item is perfect because I can use it anytime if the day for 20 minutes or less and feel like I have added the extra aerobic workout I needed to lose 15 pounds. I like it so much I think I will keep using it!

I'm a morning outdoor runner but when it's really dark and the weather is bad, I move my cardio workout indoors. I don't have time to hit the gym or the space at home for a big treadmill so this swivel stepper is perfect! Forget the resistance cords; I alternate between step-running and then use my 5lb weights. I do 30 min sessions and 45 min - great workout! For [$] it's a bargain. If I wear it out, I'll get another one.

Overall: Cheap Aerobic Stepper
By Andrew from Boston, MA on 9/8/2007
Pros:
Convenience, Easy Clean-upSet-up, Works aerobics quickly
Cons:
Experience Too Short, Max limit of 20 minutes, Resistance Straps Broke
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:
Gadget Monger, Into Fitness, Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The stepper was initially a great investment. I would continue to use the stepper 4 times a week for 20 minutes per session. I would burn ~170-185 calories per session. However, I started to notice some quickly deteriorating aspects of the machine. [...] the manual suggest a max of 15 minutes while [...]recommends a 20 minute work-out. In addition, after prolonged and continuous use, the machine starts to develop an unavoidable squeak during every step. However, the worst part was the resistance straps. I used the straps properly for biceps/triceps according to the manual. After about 1.5 months (30 workouts), one strap broke slapping me in the face. Fortunately, I also purchased the warranty fearing that this exact situation would occur. The resistance straps are flimsy and offer very little benefit at best. I am a hefty 5'11" 185 lbs and can manage a decent bit of weight in the gym so perhaps I was too "strong" for the resistance straps. Either way, I am now a little hesitant to use the straps to a full arc as described in the manual. For [$], it is quite a deal and I would strongly recommend getting the warranty. I am often caught between work, meals, school, and volunteer acts so I have barely any time to attend to the gym. However, within the 1 month of use, I did lose 2 inches off my waist and noticeably got skinnier. I will continue to use the stepper while leaving the straps out of the crux of my workout.
