About Stair Steppers
Stair steppers continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same benefits as running stairs, but with the "any time, in any weather, without having to leave the comfort and safety of your home" added convenience. Stair steppers don't take up much space, require moderate balance and coordination, and can provide an effective work-out for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. Following on the heels of treadmills and exercise bikes, stair steppers took their first step towards fitness machine success in the early 1980s. Like most exercise equipment, stair steppers have come a long way technically speaking. Advanced computers on most newer models allow users to track their vitals at a glance. However, the most important benefits of stair steppers are still the basic ways they provide excellent cardiovascular workouts that get the heart pounding, along with the impact the exercise has on muscle tone in the legs, thighs and buttocks. Stair steppers continue to offer an exercise that is less jarring than treadmills, but more intense than elliptical trainers.

I compared quite a few products before deciding on this one and I am pleased with my purchase. The resistance level of the stepper is easy to adjust and can be set high enough to give even a fit person a good workout. The twister plate has to be used for quite a while before any sort of "burn" occurs because it offers no resistance, but in any case it is fun and you can get a cardiovascular workout from it. My only complaint is that it seems a bit "tippy" but it hasn't been a problem for me. All and all it is a good product.

4.0 out of 5 stars There's a lot to love about this stair stepper!!!, June 20, 2005

I get a really good workout on this. It doesn't have a calorie counter (does have step counter and timer though) but I work up a good sweat easily in twenty minutes - much more so than on my bike which I also love! It's super quiet so which is ideal for me since I get bored easily when working out but if I can hear & see the television I don't realize how long I've been at it. The resistance levels are adjustable so you can tailor the stress to your own needs. It also seems pretty easy on the joints - having a history of knee trouble I have to say I haven't had any with this!! I love the weights too!! I really get a good all over workout by making use of them as well. Less than two weeks after I got this product people at work were coming up to me saying, "have you started working out?". That's always a good sign!! The twister doesn't have any resistance but I still find it to be good for the waist line. I reccomend not OVERdoing it becuase you think it's so easy without the resistance but you sure feel it in your waist the next day if you go overboard.

The downside of this product is if you have trouble keeping your balance I wouldn't risk it. I'm 105 pound, 5'4" female in better than average shape. Although the product says it allows for a heavier person I'd use caution with that. A few years ago I was 80 pounds heavier than I am today and I remember having some severe balance issues with the added weight. Also, maybe not good for the elderly. My mother is 63 and I bought her one too. She loves it but uses the weights separately from the stairstepper becuase she has trouble balancing and using the weights simultaneously - and she's in REALLY GOOD shape to be the age she is. She still gets a great workout though - we both use it about 45 minutes to 1 hour a day (watching the evening news or OPRAH).

This and a bicycle or treadmill make a perfect home gym for kind of an all over workout. It takes up very little space and is essentially noise free.

This is definitely an ideal product for the right person!!!

This is JUNK. I got it as a gift for my Mom and it broke after two weeks. She contacted the manufacturer, and they sent her the part that broke, so she took it apart and fixed it. About two weeks later, it broke again (different part). All told, she's had 5 different things break on it. When it works well, it works, but it's too flimsy. She's given up...
